It’s wild doing the following on a shared production machine. I’ve seen 30+ sessions unattended for days:

    ps aux | grep vi

People not knowing how to quit vim is a meme but at the same time is real as ever.

I've probably had 10+ myself just because I have multiple half-finished projects open.

Maybe my error was XEmacs instead, I only put up with it until IDEs finally became part of UNIX culture.

For non-emacs nerds who didn't get the joke - command for exiting Emacs is 'M-x kill-emacs', also, you don't "delete-word" in Emacs, command for it is 'kill-word', there's also 'kill-paragraph' and so on.

Now I wish there were a way to yank emacs after killing it.

Yanking Emacs back to life? What kind of digital paganism is that? The Church or Emacs dictates using the mighty Daemon to summon it back to life.
