@timelady Well, for someone who’s trying to take over the world through the help of chibi-fied drawings and cute plushies, I am not sure if I could come up with enough arrogance and vitriol

No mate, there was opinion, sure, but no arrogance or vitriol. Epic fail at being a zealot there;)

Claire, stop that right now. You are spoiling a good Holy war ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war ) by being sweet and reasonable – thats just not the done thing;)

Hi, Ryan. Yes, I am a blurry-eyed Emacs user. But it doesn’t mean I won’t ever use vi. I take it that you’re a vi user like timelady. Good for you:) You’ve found a text editor that suits your needs and wants. I found my own too.

Hi, timelady! Hehehe. I use both emacs and vim actually. But more of emacs than vi/m. The modes in vim get me confused sometimes so I would actually use nano more than vi/m. Sorry! *holds up a huge peace sign* The timing of the xkcd comic is perfect~! *laughs*

Geez, Clair. You make it hard for this old Vi(m) user, dontcha. I mean, I LIKE you, and respect you, and the you go and post this *sniff*. I thought we were friends, man!!! I just don’t know you anymore!!!!

Anyway, all the usual vi vs emacs crap out of the way, i had JUST finished looking at xkcd.com – the latest cartoon was uncannily prescient! http://xkcd.com/378/
