While working at AXD 301, you are allowed to use any editor
(I know both vi and textedit have been used), as long as you
comply with the indentation rules in the Emacs Erlang mode.
;-)

There is even a design rule to this effect:

"Indentation shall be according to the Erlang mode for
emacs"

(actually, this is part of a recommendation - not a rule -
outlining preferred coding style. It says other wise things
too, like "Comment on principles and ideas rather than
details. Never forget that bad programming practice cannot
be explained away. It must be rewritten." We stole that
last part from Joe.)
