    A bit suspicious, but is there any reason the VIM story ran first than the Emacs one? (and the Emacs' smells like a sort of concession) ... Taco's preferences lurking? It would be interesting to see if the ./ crowd has a marked statistical preference for one of the editors independently of the (religious) reasons; I'd speculate that Vim is a lot more used because its ubiquity in almost every Linux fresh installation.
