/prog/ - Vim or GNU Emacs?

Let's have an intelligent debate, shall we?

Both do what they're meant to do well, but I choose Emacs.
Emacs Lisp sucks, and only recently they added lexical scope to it. I'd prefer an actively developed CL/Scheme Emacs.

notepad2 here, I find vi/vim/emacs too complex to just writing code. They could be useful for literature or something in the publishing industry...well if they suddenly abandon everything in favor of plain text files.

Real question: what flavor of notepad you use?
Notepad
Notepad2
Notepad++
Metapad
Programmer's Notepad
scite

You do actually program?

I use vim. The feature I take advantage the most of is recording macros with the q command and then doing things like deleting two spaces and replacing {'s with ;'s on 16 lines, and other really specific things.

Think of emacs as an awesome lisp repl instead of an editor. I love how people cum over shit like the factor listener, poshconsole, and termkit when that shit is old hat in emacs.

You're right, when you hold it to such a low standard (typical lisp repl doesn't even have line editing, much less history), it doesn't seem like such a pile of crap.

Well, it's not the Lisp listener of LispMs.
