Greg,

Unfortunately you are the source I used to make the
statement about the incorporation of VIM in the Watcom IDE.
In this instance you are the source we can quote of its
non-use in the Watcom IDE. As we do have the source for the
Watcom Editor an examination might have led us more directly
to the facts in this case.

As Sheridan has pointed out we do need to pick an open
source editor to begin our quest for the "larger" truth with
respect to my assertions about the "value" of an all-in-one
editor in one language in one methodology that increases
productivity in software development and maintenance.

At the moment I suggest that we use jEdit (to follow the
written form of its advocates) instead of either the Watcom
IDE or VIM. Just as I don't believe we should have to jump
from one compiler to another or one language to another or
one of any tool to another as this acts as an inhibitor to
potential contributors, I would like to get off moving targets
and the confusion it engenders to a specific one which we can
incorporate into our comfort zones.

I suggest we start with jEdit. I have only one vote. If you
have another suggested starting editor, then your vote
counts. At some point in this process we should reach a
consensus on which editor to use as our starting point. So
how do you vote?
