What makes floobits awesome is that it could will allow someone using Vim and someone using Emacs to do pair programming.
And if you can make Emacs and vim users happy then you can have world peace.
The only problem we had with it, was that it was only 99% reliable... And that 1% error (in the connections dropping and such) was annoying.
But I still consider floobits a project with great potential.

- dunham 6y agoI did pair programming on XEmacs in the 90's by opening a new frame on a second X server. It worked surprisingly well as long as both people stayed out of the minibuffer.
