A panopticon where it's assumed that the inmates will repeatedly smash the doors, and the prison guards will repeatedly have to order new ones.

*sips beer* ah, the cycle of business

(it was mostly a joke, but) the skills you acquire tinkering your Vim to your needs using vimscript can't be used elsewhere, whereas Emacs has the (small) advantage that at least most of one's elisp skills can be translated to common lisp quite easily (with the joke being that common lisp really isn't that useful, hence my Lua jealousy rant).

That'll be six billion smacaraoos, please. If you can't pay right now, just take it from the next donation at church

Lua outside of Vim has huge applications in embedded products. Dude I would kill for Lua. Do you know what we have? Common Lisp. Yeah, it's great and fancy and all, but try adding that to your CV and applying for an embedded system job.

Me and my boys. We keep getting these requests from blind old uncle sam up the road to build shiny new things, but eh, we have other things to do, so we just take our old shit and move it around slightly and baddabing baddaboom

Ctrl-q and then if it asks to save, type "no, fuck you"

Cmon dude, what's most likely to be Skynet?

  • Vim: Clearly evil, lightning fast. Relies on vimscript for any interactivity and can barely be used outside of the editor.

  • Emacs: the hippie brain child of some of the brightest minds at the MIT AI lab, funded by military contracts. Slow, but uses a near-universal language that can easily escape the bounds of the editor, (and often does (, and holy shit where did those parentheses come from. (Oh no, it's becoming self-aware - fly you fools....!

(...once you learn the bindings)

they've changed those bindings now, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V, and Ctrl+C all do what you think they do
