Techno-curmudgeonry ([dive into mark])

I knew Mark Pilgrim was a really smart guy, but didn't know how smart until I read this post. I agree with him on everything excetp GNU/Emacs: but my allegiance to vim/gvim is based on exactly the same principles:

  • cross-platform smoothness

  • works in console mode, nearly identically to the GUI form

  • scriptable

  • extensible syntax-highlighting

My reasons for avoiding GNU/Emacs / XEmacs are the same ones Mark supplies for not using vim / gvim, only reversed:

I’ve tried vi and vim and gvim and Lemmy and all the rest; they just don’t fit my brain.

Oh, and I guess I have more allegiance to Python than he does; but then again, I haven't just finished writing a book on it. :)
