Little survey for Unix users

[Steve Hémond]

I'm not willing to start a religious war, but, what is your prefered editor
for works such as Perl programming? (Vi(m) or Emacs?)

Yes.

 

[David H. Adler]

Yes.

First of all, I'm with Tad on this one.

Secondly, this isn't on topic.

Let's not start yet another huge thread on preferred editors, ok?

Thanks

Yes.

That's nice, 'cause I'm not willing to participate in one.

Anyway, I'm kind'a allergic to the word "survey" in a Subject line.

Real (wo)men use 'cat'. Wussies use 'ed'. Vi and Emacs are for poofs.

Reminds me of a userfriendly strip:

We have a user who still uses EDT, or rather, an emulation of EDT in
vi which he got from somewhere to ease the transition from VAX/VMS to
Ultrix, and that was about 2 OSes back. Which only goes to prove the
point that editors are a very personal thing and not worth
flamefesting over.

Since:

a) You bring up emulation
b) We seem to have wound up with a long thread anyway

....I would like to point out that I've been known to use viper-mode (a
vi emulation mode) in emacs.

You jest, but I know an engineer, who in the sixties had
some sort of "personal computer" that you programmed
by writing programs, translating into machine code, then
binary (by hand), then punching holes in paper tape
with a paper punch before feeding the tape through
the machine. He reckoned it still saved him months
of labour.
