A lot of this strife dates to the days when running a text editor was
a serious strain on a system.  These days, "Eight Megabytes And
Constantly Swapping" just sounds really dated.

Today, you can run whatever editor you like and the system won't bat
an eye.  Even if it's Escape Meta Alt Control Shift.
