Everybody who takes climate change and environmental protection seriously uses vi or - if they have to - emacs. Every time a VScode session is started the average global temperature goes up by %NaN degrees. Every time a new version is launched the smoldering heaps of electronic waste on faraway beaches rise by a few metres.
People die, people are suffering. Whole ecosystems are collapsing and you're using VScode...
There's an old UNIX hacker trope of Vim vs Emacs "editor wars", where Vim users complain about RSImacs and Emacs users complain about Vimscript. It's a meme that goes very deep (Church of Emacs anyone?), and I'm sure that the Vim bindings for Emacs being called "evil-mode" was done at least partially on purpose. In Spacemacs, the setup option for which keybindings you want even makes it sound like you're choosing a side in a video game:
- Among the stars aboard the Evil flagship (vim)
- On the planet Emacs in the Holy control tower (emacs)
