Top Ten Open Source Projects

arclightfire writes "We recently wrote an article for The Independent listing the top ten open source projects. It was hard getting the list down to ten, but we did; here's the top ten - Wikipedia, Firefox, Open Office, Bittorrent, MediaWiki, Xvid, pbb, Outfoxed, dyne:bolic, GIMP, Apache and SourceForge." What would you call your favorite projects? Obviously, this list isn't strictly software projects, so be creative.

I used vim for years, and I repeated silly slogans about it during that time too. Vim is a good introduction to what people should expect from an editor, but Emacs is the editor that actually does those things.

Vim lets you do lots of things, but in horrible ways. It makes you ask "I wonder if there's an easy/clean way to do this" - there's a short answer, but the long answer is: move to GNU Emacs.
