Yeah, emacs makes way more sense for this one
The only thing emacs is missing is a text editor
That actually made me laugh out loud. Well done

Vi vs EMACS jokes are well within grandpa territory now. Sorry.

Sounds like vim is aspiring to be Emacs.
only because once you start using vim, you can't stop. why do you think people make full on operating systems within vim?
because they can't leave.

This would be more believable with eMacs tbh
One night there was a storm, and Master Wqβs house collapsed. The next morning he began to build it again using his old tools. His novice came to help him, and they built for a while and were making good progress. As they worked, the novice began to tell Master Wq of his latest accomplishments.
βMaster, I have developed a wonderful Vim script to give all sorts of useful information about a document. It counts the words, the sentences, the paragraphs, and even tells you what kind of document it is using the syntax highlighting rules. I use it in my pipelines all the time. It is a thing of beauty, and I am very proud. Truly, Vim is the greatest tool!β
Master Wq did not reply. Thinking he had unwittingly angered his master, the novice fell silent and continued his work.
The novice finished aligning two beams and had positioned a nail ready for beating into the wood, but found the hammer was out of reach.
βWould you pass me the hammer, master?β
Master Wq handed the novice a saw.
At once, the novice was enlightened.
Most powerful "text editor" you can imagine inside a command line interface. It has unlimited super wild keyboard shortcuts and people on the internet make fun about it, that the only way to exit vim is by turning off the machine, because they don't know the shortcut.
Vim is a sorry excuse of Emacs. Which is the editor made in and for the language of God, Lisp
This feels like a meme a vim user would make about emacs being bloated
Mom: we have Google Maps at home
Google Maps at home: Vim
"YESS! YESSSSS! GIVE IN TO YOUR EMACS SIDE!!!"
Google Search really sucks these days. I can't find any images of Richard M. Stallman as a Sith lord, even though I'm sure vi fans have made several edits by now. ...It's been a while.
This would be funnier if it were emacs since that's the one that has a metric ton of plugins for all of these

I much prefer handwriting in shorthand, scanning it in, running it through OCR, and cat to a file.
