This board needs some threads. I'll start the mandatory editor flame thread that all programming discussions require.

Emacs r0x0rz. Vi sux0rz. Vi users eat aborted babies for breakfast.

Actually I use TECO, but that's beside the point.

One of the following is true:
* You are able to type and use BBcode at 5 years of age.
* You lived some portion of your life lasting until five years before 2010-02-17 19:04 without an anus.
* 5 years before 2010-02-17 19:04 you exchanged your previous (though possibly not original) anus for one which was 0 years of age.
* Prime age for anii is other than 5 years.

TECO was what Emacs was based on. It had it's own macro language, which was very terse and it made Perl look like it was a well-designed language which inspires utmost clarity if you were to compare the two's syntax.

Perl is well-designed and clear if you have any knowledge of it.

I'm sure TECO users say the same about their language, and it's probably true for them. How well-designed, beautiful or usable a language is depends on the individual using it.

No, most of them are horribly, wastefully wrong. That the best choice is dependent on the person doesn't stop people from making irrational choices, nor from being ignorant.

vim > esucks.

Though vim scripting language sucks balls.
but at least it's not elisp

You can script vim in Python. This is besides the point, because this thread ended years ago.

Python, and Ruby, and Perl. What's hilarious is that all of those are pulled in when you attempt to install vim on certain popular distros.

I just started using Emacs+SLIME a week ago.
This is so much better than vim plus that shitty "sbcl in a screen session" hack called Limp (fitting name) I've been using for years.

Why didn't you guys tell me earlier?

We've been saying this time and time again whenever editor threads pop up.

I know, that was tongue in cheek.
I wish I had listened earlier, but now I have finally seen the light.

Also, Emacs bindings aren't too bad with control mapped on caps lock which I've been doing even before I started using Emacs.

Also, he hates Apple's keyboards so he's ok in my book.

Seems kind of retarded. Then you've just got to perform weird stretches for a bunch of your modifiers. Why not just use right control?

Name: Anonymous 2010-05-20 0:37

You should swap Caps Lock with Escape. You should also use Vim.

Right Control is more annoying to press than Caps Lock

Asymmetrical modifiers are for faggots.

I tried Bluefish, but if felt buggy and I'm pretty sure the syntax highlighting was broken. (Also possibly the code folding).

Vi is balls.  Vim is serviceable in a pinch, but I don't prefer it for long projects.

I don't need to perform any weird stretches.
Maybe it's because I don't have tiny girl hands.

I've found the editor wars to be quite silly. I use both emacs and vim. Emacs takes 80MB of memory? Big deal! Who isn't using at least 2GB of RAM these days.
