Notepad has even less function than vi or vim.. c'mon now!
Heh, I'm an EMACS guy anyway.
It's not about lack of functionality. It's about functionality without having to take your hands off the keys, or rely on a GUI complete with mouse, or maybe just because you can use the same editor to fix critical conf files on a broken system via a serial cable as you'd use to edit your web pages (how's that for funcitonality!?).
Heh. I joke about it, but I actually find myself ******** when writing docs in Word and not being able to use keyboard control keys to move around. Heck. Even basic *nix shell editing commands would rock, but are missing from higher end editors in favor of making everyone use a mouse (cause it's so much faster to move my hand from the keyboard to the mouse, then just hit a few keys...).
Edit: Because I mangled the word "because" even more then I usually do...
