never seen that in a job posting before...

From this job posting for an API Technical Writer (sic):

"Our ideal candidate [...] Comfortable authoring in HTML and XML using plain-text editors (no WYSIWYG)"

That's how I work all the time. I didn't know anybody else cared. :-)

(Because (1) after 30+ years the emacs muscle-memory is strong; (2) it means I actually know the spec (at least the important parts); (3) I don't have to clean up after tools' bad decisions about what I meant.)

This from the guy who has written several books in Emacs or VI with Docbook.

I really hate IDE's.
