Using different editors for configuration and actual development... - Programming On Unix

People talking together of how they use Vim along with Emacs, or only one of them, or sam, or acme, or other, even open to gtk-based editors... Without flaming.

That is beautiful!

For now, I vim, I used to Emacs, I will nvi, vis, iode, edna, vi or neovim perhaps some day?

What I particularly like are programs that use "$EDITOR" and "$PAGER" rather than their own half baked editor.

There is mail(1), from which the convention is from iirc, but also dvtm(1) (5 153 lines of code) using $EDITOR to copy and $PAGER to scroll, unlike tmux (49 325 lines of code) which has both built-in. I can't blame tmux as it is still pretty neat.
