On the contrary, they're both quite easy to use. They're just hard to learn. This
is intentional. If you're smart enough to use a real man's editor then you're
smart enough to send patches to other real men who are writing real men's software. We
don't actually want just /anyone/ writing code, do we? (well, Java people do, but its
impossible to do anything useful in Java anyway. That's why you need a gigantic
resource-intensive IDE to do everything for you).
