Editor war
The editor war is an ongoing debate about which text editor is best. The two largest camps are those favoring vi and those favoring Emacs.
Confusing the issue
In ages past, lots of small emacsen, or at least small editors modelled after Emacs, flourished. This was due to the importance of conserving memory with the comparatively miniscule amount available in those days. These days, with a plentitude of memory, many vi-alikes, especially vim, are growing to previously unthinkable proportions.
