If you've been following the discussion and reading the posts from our
friends in Germany who are doing the port, then you know who & why and
realise they have a very good reason for the port.  It is a lot of work,
and they surely are not doing it in order to provide flame topics on
comp.sys.amiga.

If you've not followed the discussion, then shame on you for flaming in
ignorance.

Also, please let's not start a "my editor is better than yours" flamefest.
Nobody is going to change their minds because of it, and everyone is
going to get red-faced and angry over a matter of opinion.  Why do you
care what editor I use (not vi :-)?
