I was at a local idl presentation (in the bay area) and was pretty
impressed with insight. It is indeed slow now, but wait 18 months, and I
bet the cpu's will start catching up. I also liked very much the
live_surface function. It is usefull in data analysis and visualisation.
regarding the editors on win95, emacs with font-locking is also very
nice. I use it as my main editor.
