For many years I used a non-free msw editor that was pretty much a
wordstar clone. But it was a good wordstar clone, and I was very
familiar with it. GNU/Linux has many such editors that are free, of
which the least bad is 'geany', but I've been spending so much time
fighting it that an hour before your message I started studying vim.
I believe this will improve my productivity more than spending the
same amount of time learning about git branches.
