It’s the same reason I am still using Notepad to compose and not some fancy text editor or CMS tool. As my father would attest, using his Microsoft Zune long after its support ran out, if it ain’t broke… While there are many IDEs on the market, there’s no reason to use one if you don’t have to use one. The consensus among many Vim/Emacs users creates a picture many tech users from a certain generation would be familiar with. Vim and Emacs users, once at each other’s throats, seem to have implemented each other’s keybindings (a thing they actually do) to take on a common enemy - any modern IDE. It’s less a war at this point than a grumbling shuffle of ingrained habit and stubborn resistance to change. The endless war between Vim and Emacs users has continued ad nauseam over the years. And, though we hate to say it, both have reached a point where neither seems to really want to fade off into the sunset. Both are used in coding, editing, and administering systems. Emacs, as we well know, is a “maze of twisty little passages, all different,” (an old programmer’s joke that came from the game Colossal Cave Adventure) while Vim (and Vi before it) offers an arrow-controlled universe of keyboard shortcuts. The origins of this war harken back to Usenet groups in the 1980s, a time when Vi and Emacs were the primary tools used for coding. We love what we grew up with, be it Star Trek jokes, Vim, or Emacs. Like a dog refusing to walk on wet grass, there always seemed to be a bit of resistance to changing up a routine. It was befitting that Honorable President of India Shrimati Draupadi Murmu inaugurated the platform during Navratri - the festival that celebrates the women power! Honorable Governor of Gujarat Shri Acharya Devrat and Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupen Patel were also present with other dignitaries.Developers are a finicky bunch. Happy to be part of the launch of ‘herStart’ digital startup platform for women entrepreneurs by Gujarat University’s GujSec and UNICEF India. Women are natural entrepreneurs - powerhouse of talent, leadership and collaborative approach who can get things done! Their unique ideas and caring perspective can unleash a new era of sustainable success - and not to forget - the next big Indian unicorns!
