The Facebook interview process was a bit of a joke. Writing code without being able to evaluate and test it is for people just out of school, but that's what they gave for an editor (which didn't have emacs keybindings either IIRC, just some generic code sharing site). Sometimes people with experience do things differently and have learned to USE the computer and not do everything in their heads. Age and skillism to the extreme. I suspect they just want coder drones.
