in thread Which text editor

Oh most likely yes, and these nodes of mine probably end up in the negatives pretty high. I just don't understand why people don't start looking for information before asking a question. Usually we have Abigail-II responding in a manner like mine, but since he's awfully nice today, I'll question it :)

I most certainly don't disagree with people asking questions, even obvious ones that have been asked before, but I value it when a person actually does look around before posting something. In this case, I don't think it's very hard to find numerous editor suggestion on almost every known OS.

Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't care less about what editor other people use.

    I didn't dispute the fact that the OP should have gone looking first. I just think it's pretty belligerent to assume he must be trolling for a flame war.

      Well, editor flame wars are as old as the second editor ever made. It's a more well known "holy war" than "Windows vs Unix" (and older too) or "SysV vs BSD". It's a rare occasion that a discussion about editors doesn't end with "the editor I use rocks, and the editor you use sucks".

      I consider any editor discussion to be a flame fest, unless proven otherwise.

        I don't see anyone flaming in this one. At least not until someone mentioned it being a flame topic..
