Now, as a vi (and vim) user, i may dislike emacs, but that doesn't Steve> mean you have lie and say _your_ favourite editor (as if you could call Steve> emacs an editor - it has so much bloat its almost an OS) Unfortunately, the debate was termed in such a way that the emacs team could not possibly win -- the emacs team was trying to say that vi *was* for newbies --- which of course it isn't. However, Xemacs is a very good newby editor, which was the point made by the final vi speaker. So the pro-vi *team* won the debate, by making the point that vi wasn't as good as emacs.
