one had anything better to argue about than whether you use this open source editor or that open source editor. These days, I feel like most people probably have bigger fish to fry, bigger problems to tackle, and the idea of arguing over whether you use this open source solution or that open source solution just doesn't seem to be... I don't know. I've not witnessed it in real life. I've never seen that struggle actually happen. And I include myself in that. I am not one of those people who cares. I don't feel like there's any moral imperative of whether you use Vim or Emacs. And in fact, I think there's a great argument for doing neither, for both Vim and Emacs, to be set aside as specialized applications and for something a little bit more sensible, like Nano, for instance, or Joe, or something where you open it up and it's really obvious that it's a text editor. You open a text editor and you are in text editing mode. I don't think that's really that much to ask of a text editor. (3/54)
