With regard to the text vs structure editor controversy: text editors
can simulate structure editors easily (e.g. Emacs-like programmable
ones), but can structure editors simulate text editors??  I don't
think so.  Thus, text editors provide a more inclusive model of
editing (i.e. model of computation) than structure editors.

N'est ce pas?
