Yay, let's see how off topic we can get ;)

Funny, I have Office XP right here.. isn't that mainstream enough?   Not
that I actually use it, Vim is where I do pretty much all my productive
work.

Hey, how about adding an Emacs/Vim flamewar to this thread? ;)

Wow, browsers, OS's and editors in one thread, maybe we can squeeze
shells (zsh > bash), window managers (WindowMaker > Enlightenment) and
languages (Ruby > Perl) in too? :)

I never had to recompile anything.  The fact that I choose to every time
I reboot (not very often :) is irrelevent.

The stable, secure, audited and open OS sits on the cable modem and
protects said insecure OS which runs every application and game in the
Universe ;)

No, inferior in that it doesn't work on any of my hardware.  Although
having said that, I do keep hearing things about PPC/Mac emulators,
maybe in the dim and distant future I'll even come across one.

Anyway, we now return you to our regularly scheduled programming...
probably.
