It's a joke.

It's a joke.
- Semiapies 16y agoYeah. Specifically, it's a lame gag in the vi/emacs holy war.
- stcredzero 16y agoI don't find such interesting. Please look at the LtU post and consider what I said about working sets.
- Semiapies 16y ago1) I've already seen it. 2) You might look into making comments that have better relevance to the posts and comments you're replying to. Doubly so if you don't find them interesting.
- stcredzero 16y agoThe post is about editors. It's the joke I don't find interesting.
- burgerbrain 16y agoNo, this post is not about 'text editors', it is about 'a joke about text editors'. Nobody really cares if you don't find it interesting. Flag it, maybe make a comment to that effect, and buzz off. Just don't veer off topic.
- stcredzero 16y agoIf you reflect for a moment, you'll find that both the posted gag and my humorless comments are actually getting at the same underlying idea.
- burgerbrain 16y agoNo, it's pretty tangential.
- burgerbrain 16y agoIt reads like a joke from somebody too young to remember ed. Vi/m minus the insert mode leaves you with ed/ex, and a lot of serious programming has been done with those.
