In all fairness, the dangerous questions are often the opposite of the lowest hanging fruit; low chance of achievement, risky and ambiguous payoff, but maybe worth it after all. But to not broach the question at all for the sake of avoiding the volume of dialogue it might produce seems kinda odd, imo. Now that I think of it, maybe frequent and small flamewars clear the brush better than infrequent infernos, ha. |

Yeah, I guess you're right, maybe I was a bit overcautious there. Nonetheless, I do think that it is better to ask specific questions rather than the blanket "what's the best X?" Note that this is not limited to text editors - there are very few domains in life where a "best" anything is to be found. Asking specific, non-emotionalized questions ("What is a good X under condition Y?") is more likely to lead to constructive answers.
