I'm running Linux, and I have all those editors you listed under Un*x and
more right at my fingertips.
I'm not really sure that you even need to include a separate section for
Linux if you are already
such a wise and enlightened person that you have a section for Un*x ;-) (Unix
is a proprietary name, not
everyone who makes a flavor pays for permission to use the name) I think you
did hit all the really
most important (IMHO, no editor holy wars here, please) ones, though. Good
job. Seeing Un*x on the list
made me happy.
