Don't listen to these people.

They follow a dangerous cult.

I'll post "favourite hacks in vim" soon :-)

You beat me to it morgon :-D

When a sysadmin on Solaris, my favourite emacs hack was to remove the damn thing - one of 2 scenarios kept recurring (both directly traceable to emacs):

• filling /tmp ... causing kernel panic.
• process table filling up - preventing any other operation - self-evidently a hard reset was always required as the fix

Perl and Emacs are very similar - kitchen sink philosophy.

VI falls in line with Unix toolbox philosophy.

RDBMSes are a similar software prison to Perl and Emacs.

Never forget: the car is in the cdr, not the cdr in the car
