Trollish nonsense. You haven't even really read my comment, or you'd know that the leverage ratio I mentioned, which you're challenging me to justify, was actually about the efficiency of the tools you yourself were touting, not vim. Your "conclusions" are obviously trolling.

Trolling. Really? This guy is expressing an equally valid argument. And one that I suspect a fair portion of HN readers agree with. Personally, I thought it was April 1st when I saw a foot pedal for a text editor!? Accusing him of trolling is really lowest-common-denominator fanboi bullshit. He makes valid arguments, agree to disagree and move on.

  Yes, trolling. Really. In every sense of the word. He didn't even respond to my argument. It's whining about downvotes, about how he doesn't have time for this argument, more repetition of the same irrelevant text-editing-is-unimportant argument that I already responded to, followed by deliberately trolling conclusions. This is not a back-and-forth with points and counterpoints. This is me responding to his points, and him throwing the same shit back like a parrot. I call that trolling. You think he has a valid argument, cwills? Maybe you can point out to me where he has actually responded to my points.

    In an effort to clear bad blood and actually learn something I decided to start this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4145060 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4145060 It should be obvious that it is intended to be useful and educational. No flaming. No trolling. No personal attacks. Just reproducible facts. I am hoping that you will be one of the first people to post a recipe to that thread so that those of us who don't know enough about vi will, hopefully, see the light. Thanks in advance.

I truly don't enjoy the personal attacks. You win. Done.

  You've written hundreds, if not thousands, of words in response to this article (about a neat hardware hack lets remember. You've been on a tangent since square one...) accusing vi users of "being tribal" and "drinking cool aid", pounding your own chest, attacking the HN voting system, and in general just doing your damnedest to start yet another editor flamewar. Then somebody suggests that you are acting trollish, and to you that is simply uncalled for. Really?
