Yes, I find there are certain circumstances where it's necessary. I find the 
keybindings totally counter-intuitive, so if I'm in X I prefer to use nedit. 
I have never used emacs, although I probably will have to if I want to get 
into CMUCL or any other LISP-like languages.

I'm sure plenty of people already have / do. I write all my websites with 
nedit. Syntax highlighting is a wonderful thing. Wysiwyg editors make me GIGO 
too much. ;-]
