A few days ago, stackoverflow has hit a major milestone: `the community has helped one million developers to exit vim. `_ If that isn't reason for celebration, nothing is.
'Of course, these aren't real programmers, since those use something else entirely.'

'`Not even close.' `_

I'll write about the editors I'm using (and why) in the near future.
