Vi vs Emacs
truly pointless would be vim vs neovim. I'm sure they are different somehow and that it really matters to someone though.
emacs is a great os, lacking only a decent editor. lol
You can use vi in emacs, so it makes emacs a pretty good os actually.
One thing that made me laugh was that "Emacs is a great OS lacking only a decent text-editor", but from your comment it seems that's been fixed!
Right. As we all know, ed is the standard text editor.
hx
Now that it has a file explorer I'm decided to give it a fair go. It was one of the things I missed the most.
I was a kak user for several years and am giving hx an honest try this year. So far, I'm quite happy.
(and yes, I've been both an emacs and vim user.)
