Since we are discussing religion and politics, I've moved this to geeks.

In this day and age of monstrous amounts of CPU cylces going unused, isn't
it time to use a text editor that pretends to have a brain?

For instance, in the two emacs (I don't believe in keeping only one copy
of emacs open) that I have open now, one of them is managing the white
space in some python scripts (python was meant to be edited with a smart
editor, I kid you not), and provides a class browser.

The other is opened to a C++ project.  It takes me to build errors, does
syntax highlighting, and highlights the current code in the GDB.

I'm sure you've heard these things before.  I understand prefering vi's
keysequences to emacs chords, but what makes people prefer such a lack of
features?
