who says they must compete? If they can license a bad editor, they
should be able
to license some software to generate CMYK. Perhaps they could save the
money for
the editor and officially use (X)Emacs instead - I still haven't
discovered 1/10th of the idlwave mode, I believe, but what I have
already seen is just great!
