Who are those Emacs fans that refuse to accept that vi is more popular than Emacs? I am sincerely curious!

I 'assumed' every true Emacs user thought so. Are'nt you one ?

I consider myself a true emacs user but its stupidity if one refuses to acknowledge that vi is the most commonly used.

What I say is: The ratio of inefficient people to efficient people is greater than 1 :P

btw, your LiveURL link didn't highlight anything on my firefox (was it even a LiveURL link?). I'm using LiveURL 0.1, am I missing something?

:) Knew this was coming as soon as I made the post. Popular does'nt mean powerful, eh?

You are missing web-marker :) We released a revamped extension. Unfortunately the URL format changed a bit as we ditched the DOM based implementation.

Yes, but that doesn't mean that I have to demean Emacs by entering it in any popularity contest. :P

Not 'any' popularity contest. There is only one popularity contest that we are talking about :P

Direct link to XPI won't work, unless the users add their friends page to the extensions source list. :/

:) Did not think of it. Thanks for pointing out. Removed it.

Its totally inconsequential as to which is more popular, IMHO.

Some masochists like pressing Escape : before entering every command, and then after that typing some text and realizing that they are in command mode and not insert mode, and pressing i (or a) and retyping the text. To each his own. For that matter, some people like the simplicity of notepad.exe (or kedit if you will). Again, I would say, to each his own.

PS: For the records, I am an emacs fan.

PS2: I'm still using Firefox 1.0.8, so cannot use your extension :(

Agree. But I found mention of that in the HOWTO a bit surprising.

Blame it on the NPOV trend set by wikipedia :p

rather the link should be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view
sorry.

You’d believe together with the multi gazillion cash of investment that wikipedia could acquire some much more servers.
