    My co-workers are quite puzzled seeing me using eclipse and vi at the same time. The force of habit...
    "People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    As for Emacs, well, my left little finger can't take the abuse, even with a remapped caps-lock. And every time I start it up I can hear Stallman's annoying voice and visualise his beard, which doesn't make for relaxed and productive coding.
