imaging being so disconnected from reality to think that your editor of choice if something to brag about

  One could say the same about any interest, really...imagine bragging what sort of car you drive, as if that makes any real difference. Of course, you say, driving some expensive car means you get more attention, right? Well, yes, and it doesn't make you any better of a person...if your text editor is your car and people care about what car you drive, then maybe it also gets you some attention... But yes it is sad that we get wrapped up in the unimportant things in life. Good to have some escapes, too, though.

    My point was more that sometimes with modern internet it's quite easy to end up in a very specific and small bubble and think it represents the world. But sure I guess you're right, as long as there is an audience willing to listen you can brag about anything. I can count on one hand people in my real life circle who would care about me using emacs. Cars are different, they are related to economical accomplishment, which is more universally accepted as something to brag about.
