I like how you say the Vim/Emacs debate will rage until the end of time - and then leave my beloved Emacs off your link list!

Just teasin' of course - great write-up. Extending your editor is a fantastic litmus test.

Haha! If you have some good Emacs links I'll include them! To be fair, I didn't add Vim either :P

I always have Emacs open and still use vim for lots of things when ssh'd into servers...and I advise young engineers to learn neither unless they absolutely have to. My sunk cost needn't be their hazing.

For sure. Learning programming and Emacs at the same time is a bad plan - but it saddens me to think that many never even take a look once they've gotten over the initial hump.
