<context snipped in froward violation of common sense> Well, kudos to you for discretion, which has been noted as 'the better part of valor', indeed. For our mutual edification, here are a few links relevant to the discussion as it pertains to PHP in particular, from a favorite forum of mine.

Finally, try reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_wars --- for some background on why this question is so, um, politically incorrect <?> (ahem), and try Googling the phrase "vi versus emacs" to see that it's actually true. Meanwhile, I'm off to unwedge my tongue, which seems to have lodged itself firmly between my cheek and upper jaw....
