You can't measure emacs vs vim like you can the effect of color or layout on conversion of an app. When measuring is trivial to do and results are easily seen

You can't measure emacs vs vim like you can the effect of color or layout on conversion of an app. When measuring is trivial to do and results are easily seen to directly impact revenue, there's just no excuse to not do it.
- jfarmer 18y agoI agree. I'm just saying this isn't an "engineer" versus "designer" issue. Engineers have just as many "irrational" opinions as designers. Emacs vs. Vim, Ruby vs. Python, or whatever. And those things are quantifiable to some extent. Take a random sample of engineers, give them identical tasks to complete, and vary the editor.
