vi or emacs? (was: The Simpsons live in Missouri)

[Jzero]

vi for anything quick, emacs for heavy-duty editing. vi is quicker to navigate in, but emacs does a nice job of auto-formatting my code for me as I go.

Dude, you can't have it both ways. The simpsons can't live in Missouri AND Kentucky, so you can't have vi and emacs.

Personally, I prefer emacs (CRUCIFY ME!) but it's better to know vi since not all unices have emacs by default...

you guys are all monekys its a waste of time to learn both and they are inane old relics, i shouldnt have to push ctrl-c + ctrcl x + ctrl-s to save a document or :Q:w:e to open a new file or some $hit like that. if someone put a gun to my head i would choose emacs cause its better then vi but both suck donkey balls and no one better come back and say hahaha i use edlin im hardcore or edlin is for AOLusers im 1337 cause i use pico.

Spoken like a true n00b. It's ctrl-x ctrl-c s to exit and save emacs.
Duh.
And pico is for tarts. Do you also use pine?
Figures.

im no n00b! i use a hex editor and write all my documents in unicode! so there! and pine is for lamers when i want to send emails i just open a socket to the smtp server and fill out the information by hand, its soo much better that way cause there is no bloat and it runs soo fast.

If you were truly l33t you'd just make the packets manually and feed them to the tcp/ip stack. Why use a go between like an smtp server?

Well, if it isn't Ameesh, everyone's favorite habitual thread crapper. Someone get me some chains and a blowtorch.

I predict a lock soon, btw.

emacs because the right key combination can launch the space shuttle

I prefer emacs too

I didn't know UNIX was pluralized 'unices' but after thinking about it, that makes sense. Interesting

I dunno if it's an "offical" plural. It's kind of like "boxen" and "VAXen." You can find references to it in the hacker's dictionary/jargon file, though.

emacs! what is "vi"?
