Never ceases to amaze me how people get so exercised over a text editor.

I remember the time when Linux jokes were about audio drivers and X11 config files, but audio has long been working out of the box, and X11 is already dead and cremated. Even recompiling kernel now takes around five minutes instead of two hours, so that joke is irrelevant too. So all we are left with is timeless discussion of which text editor is the best, and dumping on Windows.
