Orca 2.0 editor is very nice in my opinion. Who tells you it is slow?
It is much faster in my opinion (or is it because of my Zip?), faster
than microEmacs, stevie, etc.

Yes, it can loads 9 files at the time (or is it 10?). Yes, and it is not
as buggy as Rose, ie, it has never crashed on me yet for more than half
a year (or am I just plain lucky?).

Orca 2.0 editor!
