[OS X TeX] I'm done with TeXShop as my main editor

[Matthieu Masquelet]

But to someone who is outside of this war, don't you think they both
look a little bit crazy? I haven't touched or even approached emacs in
many years so maybe my memories are getting really bad, but to me,
emacs is closer to vi than it is to TeXShop or even TextMate no? I
mean both have a steep learning curve and aim at best productivity
through the use of the keyboard. And with the development of vim, the
boundary between the two has blurred a little bit IMO, vim being less
barebones than vi. So I think people can definitely be on neither side
of this war and prefer more "modern" alternatives such as Textmate...
As for me, I'll stick to vim :)
