As a long time Vim user (oh gosh 18 years already!), to me the Vim vs. Emacs war has always been a lighthearted joke. If there's any real war, it's more between text editors and IDEs.

I've been "attacked" on several occasions by IDE users for using Vim. Not once by an emacs user.

The real war is tabs vs spaces because that choice gets forced on others. Editors don't matter. You pick what you like best.

If you use emacs or bum, you are part of the cool kids club. If you use an IDE, you might as well be a heretic.
