I suspect Jeremy used Emacs to write his part. I use Pico (drived from
micro-emacs), which is powerful enough without tripling the keystrokes
required for an action.

I avoid using tabs unless it's a line continuation. It gets rather
disconcerting when I'm removing a level of indent and suddenly I'm deleting
part of the line because it was a tab instead of 8 spaces.
A feature of Pico I don't use: Search & replace
perl -i -pe 's/foo/bar/;' whatever.c
A feature that would be nice: indent level change function (like vi/emacs)
Other than that, it's quite usable. It finally has Goto line number
without the "Quit/Pico +123" cycle I'm used to.

Check the ChangeLog under /pub/CircleMUD/cvs/ in the latest .gz file.
The biggest should be generic_find() and PLR_NOTDEADYET.
