Looking at the links you posted - vim is updated once every 3-4 years, emacs - once a year. Looking at sublime text release log (http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/ http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/) it's been updated much more often than emacs and vim combined.
- johnwalker 12y agoIt's the difference between updated and released. The last Emacs commit was this morning around 9:30am. There is ongoing development on both editors.

Looking at sublime text release log (http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/ http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/) it's been updated much more often than emacs and vim combined. Honestly though. Emacs was first released almost half a century ago. Its core is fairly feature-complete. It doesn't need intense development and constant releases. Besides, at least for Emacs, one of the main driving principles is for it to have a good & stable core, and have all the bells and whistles delivered via extensions and packages. And those extensions gets updated continuously. Often from git commit to git commit, depending on author. When you have decades worth of customizations and ecosystem-code to consider, keeping the core stable is the only strategy you can possibly choose. Your comparison isn't apples to oranges, it's 40 years old whisky to diet coke. Edit: Half a century, not decade. Thanks dragonwriter.
- dragonwriter 12y ago> Emacs was first release almost half a decade ago. Closer to half a century, which I guess reinforces your point.
- smrtinsert 12y agoReally the most work you'll be interested in as a user will be the plugin side. You the ST community doing good work, or you have the army of github and then some always working on vim plugins. I know who I'm going with :P
