tlug: humor = vi VS emacs

[Jim Schweizer <schweiz@example.com>]

Hi all,

It's a quiet Sunday night so I thought I'd pass this along:

Felix S. Gallo <fsg@example.com> wrote this account of a
paintball match at which was decided the eternal question of
which Unix text editor is objectively superior.

  > vi trounced emacs, 3-1, in a four-game paintball match.
  > Apparently the emacs users were confused by the simple
  > nature of their paintball equipment, or were stricken by
  > carpal tunnel syndrome... Rumors that emacs really lost
  > because their guns took 5 minutes to load, weighed 500 lbs,
  > included an undecipherable and outmoded built-in scripting
  > language, and had 19 different modifier keys next to the
  > trigger were deemed baseless. Commented one grinning vi user,
  > ":1,$s/emacs/lunchmeat/g, baby!"

:-)

Apologies to Steve T ;-)
