Well. I guess one is better of without it. At least I am.

Well opinions differ in this matter. I prefer to read mail (text) as text
and not with some GUI. The same is true for writing code. I still find vi
the best thing to write code although I am not a programmer.

And wordprocessing is done bij sgmltools here. I write my documentation in
SGML. So I can make nice paper versions and online version without having
to change a bit.
