*hiss*  ;-)

If it makes you feel better...

At work, I'm surrounded by emacs users that look at me as though I
should be wearing a straight-jacket whenever they catch me using my
preferred editor (vim).  At the time of my foray into the Cygwin/Linux
world, though, the Almighty Hippo (mysteriously named after a swan)
granted me only VIm.
