I don't like emacs because it tries to format my code for me.  I
condsider that unsupportive, and actually kinda rude.

UNIX _is_ a programming environment, made up of many simple tools,
doing one thing and doing it well.  that's why there is indent,
ctags, lint, sed, etc, etc.  knowing how to use those tools
individually is far more useful than knowing how a particular
program reimplements them.
