Next thing you are going to suggest we should stop having the same arguments over and over again in circles in both politics and software religious wars like vim vs. Emacs, huh?

Pffft... you're all wrong. JOE is the best.

(my first editor was 'Tasword' on the Amstrad, Tasword had Wordstar-ish UI... I couldn't get on with Vi or Emacs, but JOE with its similarly wordstar-ish UI just felt right).

Asking people not to argue about Vim vs. Emacs would be like asking people not to argue about St. Louis Cardinals vs. the Cubs, or Beatles vs. Stones. I would never do that, so long as folks kept it civil.
