> And yet I get down-voted for expressing a well-reasoned opinion against vim and Emacs.
Calling people whose editor preferences differ from yours "obsessed" "editor-hipsters" is not a well-reasoned opinion, nor is saying that people who drive manual are engaged in a "quasi-religious ritual" to feel a false "sense of superiority". Those are just insults. Hence the downvotes, I suspect.
No one here is forcing you to use any editor, you've only got people trying to explain to you what they find valuable in the tools you're attacking. You're coming off as someone with a major chip on his shoulder. You may use whatever editor you like, but you should consider extending the same courtesy to others.
