: I feel a bit frustrated. Despite this discussion someone just erased GNU Emacs from this page. I can't see any reason for that. Why waste time that way? Could you however did this please explain? --[[User:Nopedia|Nopedia]] ([[User talk:Nopedia|talk]]) 10:07, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

::Hi, Nopedia. I don't make a habit of reading the talk pages for relatively uncontroversial articles before making relatively innocuous changes. It's probably safe to assume the vast majority of edits to Wikipedia are made this way. So please don't feel frustrated—you've done the right thing, sending me a message to ask me to explain, and now we can talk it out.

::My reasoning for removing emacs was simple: I didn't see any compelling reason to list a general-purpose text editor in an article on purpose-built HTML editors, when the article already states plainly that many generic text editors have features to make editing HTML easier and links to a page comparing them. I was too brusque in my edit comment, and I'm sure my intent didn't come across well. Hopefully it is more clear now. —<span class="user-sig user-horsepunchkid">[[User:HorsePunchKid|HorsePunchKid]] ([[User talk:HorsePunchKid|talk]]) <span class="user-sig-date">2010-01-10&nbsp;19:15:11[[ISO 8601|Z]]</span></span>
