Hi,

What about this:

1. Different people need different feautres. Only the flexibility of the software you are talking about can solve this problem.

2. Allow users to adjust the behaviour of the software, but do not make the choose from menus. Menus are for things changing often. Important things like indentation or colours used by the syntax highlighting engine are chagned very rarely so they should be "hidden" somehow.

3. Fast in terms of typing. I'm sure some of you have tried Vim and use it's hjkl to decrease the pain after 8 hours of editing.

4. Fast in terms of performance. Has anyone seen anything as fast as perl?

5. And the last thing, probably the most important one: configuration and extension language: PHP.

At work I use Vim but my favourite editor is GNU Emacs -- the most flexible thing on Earth. I think, that flexibility is even more important than functionality -- you can always add functionality (either writing some code yourself or by adding some kind of plugin) if you think it's missing.

BTW: this is my first post here, nice to meet all of you guys.
