Also, TTF support is now in Emacs, but it is terribly slow. I'll stick with the bitmapped fonts for now. gioby: ever write a large LaTeX document in vi and have it insert the formatted text and equations into your editor so you can make sure they’re being entered in correctly?

There's no software quite like it and though I don't actually do a lot of programming myself I think AUCTeX alone is reason enough to recommend it¹: http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/9664/screenshotemacsfv5.png Of course it /is/ hard to tame and master but it has excellent documentation (including reference cards) and if you put the time and effort in you'll not regret it. ¹ Some people have said the same of org-mode http://orgmode.org/ GNU Emacs is an Aladdin’s cave of a program and it is unbelievably flexible and powerful.

Of course it /is/ hard to tame and master but it has excellent documentation (including reference cards) and if you put the time and effort in you’ll not regret it.
