As in the one that gets me really excited about Linux: Windows Update
And now, for the first time ever, Slashdot itself gets /.'ed by one of it's own stories.... shouldn't that cause a paradox that destroys the universe, like if Marty saw himself in Back to the Future 2?

No, very few people prefer emacs, they just take up far more system resources than the vi/vim majority.
First round goes to the forces of light - the vi/vim camp!
No, I'm a Slashdot reader. The Yello Face burns us.
I ain't evil, I'm just good looking.
I sure hope the "du" in your username does not stand for "Drexel University" because I'd really hate to be going to the same school with someone as lame as you.

No, I'm afraid there are many who prefer vim. Some nonsense about
it taking less time to load (which is of course silly considering
you only ever need to load your editor after you upgrade it (or
upgrade your kernel)), or something about cursor-movement keys being
for wussies, or somesuch, or meaningless complaints about the default
key bindings being bad (well, of course the defaults are bad; that's
why you _change_ them...) -- you know how people are -- they prefer
what they're used to, and don't like to take the time to learn
something (e.g., lisp) even if it will ultimately save them lots
of time. So it doesn't surprise me that vim is more popular than
Emacs. Heck, C is more popular than Perl, too; that doesn't make
it better. Back in my day, we didn't tolerate such whining and
infighting; all we had was software we wrote with our own hands in
binary using vacuum tubes, and we _appreciated_ it, because we knew
where we came from and understood discipline and
rambling? Let me tell you about rambling, sonny, why, when I was
a young whippersnapper...
Cut that out, or I will ship you to Norilsk in a box.
