I think he meant: "While vim is a great text editor, I stick with Emacs because it's pretty much an OS in its own right, and even a crappy OS is better than just a text editor." ... I'm a vim user :)

yeah, i wouldn't use windows 95 over vim either.

I think that would be a slightly more appropriate claim if Emacs supported multiple threads, or lexical scoping...

  ... or page tables, or a custom filesystem, or the ability to involve a million developers in a battle about which is the "best"... Well, 1 out of 5 isn't a bad start. We should totally develop an EmacsOS and market it as "the most customizable operating system ever".

    I don't think you're very far off with EmacsOS... except I'd imagine it as a EmacFox or Chromacs?

      Chromacs is good. Its marketing tagline could be "Chromium's mac daddy".
