Since Jason and I are working together again, we are trying to improve our development methods. Since pretty much every XML and or XSLT editor out there pretty much sucks overall, we are trying to learn to live with Emacs

Now, this is not an Emacs versus vi thing, this is about getting real work done. I happily use Emacs, vi, Textpad, notepad, XML Spy (grid view is kinda cool), Komodo (like the debugger for XSLT/PHP/Python). The only problem is, I have very targeted things that I need to do when edited XML or XSLT. The beautiful thing is that many people also have this need, and Emacs has many extensions that help to handle these tasks.

I am now almost fully using my RedHat box at work, using Emacs and Phoenix.
