POI used to use nano to edit text but I switched to vim, which is more powerful. Will I get the same power up if I move to emacs?

    <p>For about 3+ years, all I thought I needed (and technically that was the case) was nano. I did not understand all the hoopla about vim until I tried it. Although the learning curve is ever-so-slightly higher, it has greatly simplified coding for me and I would not dream of going back to nano.</p> <p>I have, however, heard many times over that emacs is the most difficult to learn, yet most useful editor for a programmer. Can anyone who has taken a similar path of evolution through text editors (and find themselves currently choosing emacs) tell me what the advantage is?</p> <p>Right now my view on vim is the same as my previous view on nano, which is: <strong>Will the marginal utility be great enough to justify putting in the time to learn?</strong> With switching from nano to vim, the answer is an obvious yes (for me anyway). Will I look back and say the same thing about vim if I learn emacs?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
