And emacs sits here, in its mid-30s, looking forward to the pictures of vim's 21st birthday involving it passed out drunk on the front lawn at sublimetext's place.
(seriously, happy birthday vim, it wouldn't be nearly as fun of a holy war without you :) )

- cgs1019 15y agoActually vi and emacs were both born around '76. It's vim that came out 20 years ago in '91 :)
- hyperbovine 15y agoYes, Emacs vs. Notepad would be a little lopsided.
- ajross 15y agoThis is vim's 20th birthday. Bill Joy's vi screen editor was written (based on ex) c. 1978 I believe. GNU emacs was begun in 1984, though of course "EMACS" has a much longer history going back to TECO on the PDP-10 in the early 70's.
- qdot76367 15y agoUpdated original comment to match. I was actually wondering about that, something felt wrong about vi only being 20, but not enough to actually look it up. And yeah, I was using the '73-'74 TECO macros date for emacs.
