🥩 Red Meat Friday: An Old Meme

This one’s for you Vimistas. It’s an old meme, for sure—indeed, the post is 10 years old—but still good for a laugh. I vaguely remember a couple of (non-editor) products named “Emacs” but “Vim” definitely has the cleanser market cornered.

The thing about posts like the above is that they’re trolls trying to provoke a reaction from those who see it. In that respect, it was a great success. There were plenty of comments and a few of them joined in the fun but the majority simply took the bait and reinvigorated the editor wars. There’s even someone claiming that Notepad (!) is the best editor, although that’s probably another troll.

Read the comments and enjoy the fun. You have all weekend to recover.
