When I was programming around 1990, we used VI, not VIM, and there was this rivalry with the emacs people. It was like one of those "Windows vs Mac", "iOS vs Android" things but with UNIX text editors. Glad to see, 30+ years later, VI(M) people and emacs people are able to reconcile their differences :)

Now I feel bad to have moved to other editors over the years, nowadays VSCode :P

Bold of you to assume that the VIM emacs wars have ended

I ask interviewees what they use as a text editor. If they answer emacs, job interview over.
