VIM Humor

It has been written, that on the day of the Great Editor War, the peace is shattered by an unprovoked attack by nvi on Emacs. Emacs strikes back, sending viper out to annihilate vile, while repelling the continued attacks from nvi without sweat, until XEmacs and jed join forces in another attack on Emacs. Emacs is crushed, but XEmacs is seriously wounded in the battle, and unable to defend itself when Crisp, XCoral, and nedit all attacks at the same time. Meanwhile, jed, although less severely harmed from the battle, find itself facing a formidable opposition in the form of µEmacs, mg, joe, freemacs, and notGNU, who all join the battle now. nvi, now with perl as an extension language, tries to claim the now vacant title as The Mother of All Editors, but is immediately attacked by vim, elvis, sam, and wily.

The battle continues, drawing in more and more editors, even obscure presumed dead editors like xedit, teco, and tpu/edt, until finally a single survivor emerges, pico, which has meanwhile been bought by Bill Gates, renamed to MS Edit, and stripped for all the advanced features that just confused the users.

So the answer, my friend, is to learn pico now and get rich on consulting once MS Edit becomes the accepted industry standard.
