@joe@f.duriansoftware.com I thought the two kinds of editor were Perry White and J. Jonah Jameson.

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com I think emacs has a kernel, it's basically internet explorer with all the toolbars and a lisp machine. And no one understands what that means. (meanth?) If your editor asks you whether you want X libraries and allows you to say no, that's bare minimum. Standard editors just ask for input.

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com Beware, all editors had been superseded by GNU Moe. All programmers, writers and gamers will all use GNU Moe. GNU Moe is the ultimate editor. It is the supreme one. #GNUMoe

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com Vim looks like a vi, but is actually an emacs. This also applies to the vis editor. Neovim is an emacs that feels like a vi. ed(1) is the standard text editor.
