I tried SlickEdit briefly but fled back to the familiarity of emacs before learning much about it (conclusion – it is different to emacs). I’m curious to know what advantages people who use both, or even just SlickEdit, perceive it has over Emacs.

Yes – though of course the license is a very important difference, I thought it an even stranger remark given that it came from someone who obviously doesn’t care much about that sort of thing.

@phayes – you’re saying that the license isn’t the big difference right? I guess Emacs is the planet and Slickedit is the town then ? ;-p

@Memnon – that isn’t spam – great link, Thanks. I’ve added my vote.

“The big difference between SlickEdit and Emacs is that SlickEdit is commercial software and Emacs is open source. ”

The big difference between Luton and Mars is that Luton has an airport and Mars doesn’t.
