EmaVics

This article on Emacs and Vi made me happy. For those of you not in the know, Emacs and Vim (Vi) are very fancy text editors used *nix operating systems. They're sort of like Notepad on steroids.

The whole debate behind these two programs is older than the Internet and many older and otherwise mature people will get in fights over them. By older, I mean folks in their fifties.

Even so, they are both very popular and millions of html pages, perl scripts, rc config files, c programs, and poems have been written with either. I use Vim.
