It seems to me that with speakup I can use any
of the normal editors in linux.
I happen to prefer ex, but lots of folks use
vi, and I occasionally use emacs.
You certainly don't have formatting capabilities in editors like ex,
but global replacement and searaching, reading in other files,
and marking moving blocks around are all available.
I for one do not like all the Big Brother heop that programs like
WP and WORD give.
