Mine is the Church of Emacs?

February 26th, 2006

Written on the chalkboard at the beginning of Elder’s Quorum meeting was the follwing:

  • What is vi?
  • What leads to vi?
  • What are the effects of vi?
  • How do I avoid vi?
  • Do I have vi?
  • How do I get rid of vi?

Which is better, vi or emacs? That is the age old debate among *NIX users. I never thought the Church would establish any doctrine on the matter, and for a minute I was second guessing myself.

As it turns out the teacher was just being lazy and “vi” stood for “vain imaginations.” I think I like my original notion better.
