Editor war

Common card · No. 264150

The editor war is the rivalry between users of the Emacs and vi (now usually Vim) text editors. The rivalry has become an enduring part of hacker culture and the free software community. The Emacs versus vi debate was one of the original "holy wars" conducted on Usenet groups. Since at least 1985, many flame wars have occurred between those insisting that their editor of choice is the paragon of editing perfection, and insulting the opposing group accordingly. Related battles have been fought over operating systems, programming languages, version control systems, and even source code indent style.
