Even when appearance is important, e.g. HTML+CSS, I still use Vim (or
gvim), then I watch in a browser how it looks like. In my experience,
WISYWYG HTML editors add spurious elements here and there, and most of
them produce bad quality non-W3C-compliant HTML. With Vim I can tune
the source text however I want.

Of course, this group's old-timers are also long-time Vim users. It
_is_ possible edit one's text with emacs, Notepad, gedit, and others,
but of course you won't find help about them here.

Best regards,
Tony.
