What's the point of an editor flamewar anymore?  I mean Vim is just
so damn good, everything else just doesn't compare.  ;)

I'd curious to hear why you prefer RatPoison (RP) over Ion.  Its not 
entirely on topic so you can email me off list if you'd like.

Personally, I just found RP to be a subset of the features of Ion.
Now some of the early versions of Ion where pretty hard to live 
with on a daily basis but the recent ones have cleaned up a lot.

Biggest downside to Ion right now is that for every new version
there seem to be _MAJOR_ changes to the config files so that I 
have to rewrite all my customizations every time I upgrade. 

On the other hand RP still runs with my customizations from 3-4 
versions ago....is that it?

Or is there something about RP that I just didn't notice?
