> it's also the sort of thing that could give vi a definitive advantage in the interminable editor wars
Is editors war still a thing? I was under the impression that emacs, vim and more recent editors (sublime and atom, to name two) each found their core audience and were quite distinct.
Or maybe it's just that I've been using vim for long enough. I can change my main language every few years, but I can't see myself changing my editor. Maybe the "editor war" is more about hesitating between editors at the beginning.
