  See:
	_The Evaluation of Text Editors:  Methodology and Empirical Results_
	by Teresa L. Roberts & Thomas P. Moran; Communications of the ACM,
	v. 26, #4 (April 1983).

  From the abstract:
	... a methodology for evaluating text editors on several dimensions:
	the time it takes experts to perform basic editing tasks, the time
	experts spend making and correcting errors, the rate at which novices
	learn to perform basic editing tasks, and the functionality of editors
	over more complex tasks.... The methodology has thus far been used to
	evaluate nine diverse text editors...

	(Those nine are TECO, WYLBUR, EMACS, NLS, BRAVOX, BRAVO, STAR, GYPSY,
	and a Wang wordprocessor.)
