Not me. Holy wars, jihads, crusades, inquisitions, pogroms, purifications, et al., are against my religious principles. You want to use Emacs? Or even Microsoft Megabucks LoseDough's NoteBad? Go ahead. As long as you let me use Vim on SuSE Linux, I won't interfere with your choice of editors. Pacem in terris, as-salaamu `alaykum, ve'aleichem shalom. I don't live anywhere near, er, anyplace "south of Vancouver and north of Seattle", but even if it were to happen at the Brussels (Belgium) Free Universities, one streetcar trip from here, I wouldn't participate. Watch, maybe, like one watches a football match (a soccer match, for you Usonians); though I deplore the use (abuse IMHO) of the expression "holy war". Only someone from Marketing could imagine that the sole purpose of Vim (or Emacs) in life is to eliminate Emacs (or Vim).
