Also there is the whole "emacs vs vi" flame war that was raging decades ago, only remembered by neckbeards like myself. I was an emacs user, tried vi for six months, and never went back to emacs. The other dev with whom we had bet to switch editors, immediately went back to vi after having used emacs for six months.

I know, there are emacs fans out there. After having used it for years, I can say that it is an impressive development environment, an operating system unto itself, and really an entire religion... the only thing it lacks is a decent text editor.
