“Another milestone at the Linux Business Expo was the release of
Corel’s Office 2000 suite. I received a copy of it just days before
the show. Michael Cowpland, Linux’s newest best friend, had to
contend with a keynote/floor visit from President Clinton as an
adversary to Cowpland’s scheduled keynote.”
“…CO2K isn’t about text editing apps. Once upon a time, there
was Emacs, TeX, and Vi. I recall a highly tenuous question
poised to Linus Torvalds last fall during a Torvalds keynote that
asked what editor he used. I had not heard such a considered and
reaction-fearful answer from him before or since.“
“Coders use editors as their most intimate interface to their
environment. It’s like asking a carpenter what kind of table saw
and blade they prefer, or what type of stitch best holds a
hem.”
