“TI vs. HP set the stage for a whole lot of other “Holy Wars” that followed in the dawn of the tech era: vi vs. emacs...”
There was no holy war with Vi vs. Emacs.
How could Vi compete with something so superior?
M-x we-won
:-)
Good one!
I'll confess to being "bi" on the editor matter. Depending on my frame of mind and the task, I'll fire up either one, actually vim, the vi clone with tons of extensions. As the saying goes, "Emacs is a way of life" and when I'm in a heavy-duty mode of a complex project, I just "live" in Emacs for hours and days. And I have no problem with transferring my finger memory from one to the other. But on those rare occasions on a customer site where all I have is notepad, I cringe in horror as the files are filled with :wq and C-c C-x strings.
