That's the nature of these `conflicts': it's mostly about what one
likes, and not about absolute, precise, objective measurements.

I for one can't comprehend how one can do serious work done within
vi's two mode ("One in which it beeps, and one in which it doesn't",
AFAIK according to Alan Cox ;-) And I love the simple (if you like
Lisp ;-) programmability of Emacs... when I need something it doesn't
do, I write it (or rewrite something that comes close).

But, even though I don't have vi installed here, if anyone would come
to work on this machine who wanted a vi, s/he'd get it, no questions
asked (not even "How can you be so stupid and/or misguided..." ;-)

Bye, J
