Are LL(k) parsers still used in medium to large applications?


I thought I read somewhere, that top-down parsing is better for handling
syntax-directed editors like emacs? Is there a class of applications
that benefit by top-down parsing?


Could someone please point me to any articles that discuss:


1. A comparison of the benefits of LL and LR parsing


and/or


2. Applications for which these parsing techniques are best suited?


thank you


Anthony
