in reply to Which topic is most controversial within the halls of our sanctimonious Monastery:

It's not vim, it's vi. The former has a large number of useless features for which Real Programmers have no need. There's nothing like typing :X (uppercase X) by accident to save the file and quit, and accidently encrypting your file with a key you can't reproduce, because you used the system's typeahead to prepare the next command to be run.

Other than that, there's:

  • Should the Chatterbox be logged?
  • Polls with tyops
  • Cowboy Neal spelt incorrectly

- another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl

    I don't think the 'X' thing is a uniquely vim feature - I recall a colleague doing this on ICL DRS/NX before vim was born, DRS/NX was a near bog-standard SVR4 and the only open source software installed on this machine was Perl 4.

    Also "is" is misspelt to "it".

      Fixed. Niel I'm not touching.
