Re: Religious Wars (was: Re: KDevelop vs. Eclipse vs. Emacs)

A true religious war - and this is my humble opinion - requires common use
cases, yet different postulates. In addition, some decent amount of people
wishing to invest their time and efforts into the war must be present -
otherwise, the war will fall into oblivion.

Qualities, that person willing to succeed in the religious war should
pertain, in my humble^W arrogant (a la guerre comme a la guerre) opinion,
are mental rigidity and unwillingness to separate between the cause, the
aims and the means.

As one vague familiar with dialectics of materialism, I prefer to remain
atheist in all what is related to tools and means, yet I do have one sound
opinion:

        Mediocre software may be profitable, but it is boring and ultimately
bad for the developers.

And if we will return to the original question, from which this current
thread was forked, let me say that both vim and GNU Emacs had been polished
into state which is very close to the perfection, yet KDevelop and XEmacs
still have some way to go up the path of perpetual self-improvement.
