Seriously? Seriously? It's 2010, and we're still having this religious debate? Pick an editor that works for you. Learn it. Use it. Done. NB I'm a heretic, I use both vi and emacs.
- philwelch 16y agoI would consider actually reading the article, since it's not actually about the vim vs. emacs religious war at all.
- benatkin 16y agoIf it's a religious debate, why is it surprising that people are still having it in 2010? Aren't religious debates known for never getting resolved? Also, aside from the article's title, I don't see the religious debate in the article or the comments. I see people saying how they use vim and/or emacs, and providing tips. I'd like to know how you're using both vi and emacs. I like both, and used both for a while. Please do tell.
- cubes 16y agoMy point is that religious debates, not unlike the Google Pac-Man logo, waste time. But at least Google's Pac-Man logo is fun, and nobody spills blood over Pac-Man :) As for using both, I tend to use emacs for the heavy lifting, and vi for quick edits.
- mapleoin 16y agoI use emacs and vi at the same time, too. I usually have a two-pane emacs open that takes the whole screen and an 80x22 terminal in the back. When I need to navigate to some config file/log file etc. I use ls/pwd/pushd etc. and use vi from that terminal on whatever short edits I need. I use emacs for the code that I'm writing, the one that's under VCS and everything.
