It was a joke my friend
It's just a bit of playfulness.
Nobody is 'hooked' on Emacs because of slogans. A person uses Emacs because they like it.
But... that's what alcoholics say!
A defining feature of cults is how difficult it is to leave...
:q!
Have you ever tried exiting emacs? It's not easier than vim.
Lol "team vim," spoken like someone who doesn't know what Emacs is at all
I use a vim implemented in Emacs Lisp -- evil-mode -- so I can have access to the rest of the usefulness of Emacs while also having everything model editing has to offer
The GP is joking, but I'll happily use a vim in Emacs while the reverse is impossible, and you can figure out what that means for your belief system
I also just use regular vim sometimes
Tools aren't teams
And that's why I'm on team Vim. I rather not use a tool that needs/uses cult-like slogans to convince people to keep them hooked. I want the usefulness to be the reason, not some kind of belief system.
