Blah, blah, blah.

Can we please end this thread now?  Use comp.editors for editor wars.
Or, better yet, keep your goddam opinionated ramblings to yourselves and
let people use whatever fucking editor they want.  We already know that
Emacs is crap because it uses key-chords, that Vim is crap because it
uses modes, that Sam is crap because it more or less only runs on Plan 9
and hasn't seen an update in 20 years, that NEdit is crap simply because
it's crap, that Emacs is the shit because it can have embedded
terminals, that Vim is the shit because it's fast, that Sam is the shit
because it can do complex edits easily, that NEdit is the shit because
it's crap and works like most editors for Windows would've.  Can we now
return to our discussion on the rights and wrongs of abortion, the merit
of the war in Iraq, the stupidity of George W. Bush, and our discussion
on what SCM beats all the other SCMs, *please*,
