Maybe so, but i don't like such a heavy weight framework just for an editor,
even if it does do all kinds of other stuff.

Anyway, i don't see why you have to wait for *any* program to start.

There's no reason why mozilla, open-office, emacs, or anything else shouldn'
t
start in an instant and be blazingly fast on old hardware. It all comes
down to the crappiness of the implementation; a lot of that can be due
to the slow and bloated crappiness of the current graphical widget systems.
