What the world needs right about now is a techno remix of Henry Mancini's Baby Elephant Walk. With acid phase-shifting on the baseline and everything.

Also I just registered Textmate (Mac text editor for programmerly things) and am finally reading the manual. I decided I should pay for it when I was thinking of tossing the prefs to reset the demo period for the third time. Just like in post-Firefox web browsing, I have no damn idea how I lived without tabs in my text editor before this. Yeah, I know, XCode is free, but it just feels gigantic and scary. TextMate feels light and approachable.

I think I'm a few steps ahead of you. I downloaded it as soon as I saw the link, because you generally seem to know what you're talking about. :)

Emacs and I have sort of a bitter-sweet relationship. I'm a little bummed that the Cocoa port seems to not be able to open documents from Finder, but I have fond memories of using it as a development environment in Windows (the only fond memories I have of Windows) and Linux (some of the few fond memories I have of Linux).

One feature I really miss from Emacs (at least, the versions I used) was that pressing tab would indent the current line to the proper level automatically, as defined by the current mode, and even transparently use tabs and spaces where appropriate. That was far more useful to me than inserting a tab character, at any rate. :)
