As our meeting topic this month is Emacs vs. Vi, I'm attempting to drop my
normal editor (SlickEdit) momentarily and use Emacs.  I already have vi
experience, but hope to capture the newbie emacs experience.  I'm posting my
perspective for the benefit of our speaker and meeting attendees.

First things I notice that I liked:
-Regular expression searches
-Three file merging ability (cool)
-Super fancy color coding

First thing I want but can't find:
-Source code beautifier
-How do I select something?

More later. No comments required, these are just notes for the meeting.
