Other Editors

Do these other editors also re-indent the line when the line above it is changed? If not, do they allow you to use tab to re-indent the line like Emacs?

The great advantage of Emacs is that you can indent with just one simple key-stroke. You don't have to start selecting the text, going to the menu, and selecting indent.
