Genocide is wrong, full stop. I know you know this, but say it just in case there's any moral equivocator who really believes there's no right or wrong in any context: That's very dangerous. By the way, you're the OP of this thread, and I agree with you that there have been entirely too many and too vicious personal insults in this thread. > Cause whenever I > really check… it is not there.

Neither vi nor emacs ever wrote any code to sabotage use of the other. GNOME vs KDE is a false choice: There are tens of excellent WM/DE's to choose from. The systemd thing is much more than init freedom (this from the guy who, as far as I know, first used init freedom as a talking point in the debian-user civil war). It's about incredibly bad architecture. It's about sabotage. It's about attempted monopolism. It's about the destruction of interchangeable parts. It's about barriers to DIY. It's about respect for users. Obviously there's no right answer in vi vs emacs: Depends entirely on your priorities. On the other hand, if you're a Linux user, systemd tends to be wrong, due to monolithic entanglement reducing user choices and increasing complexity.

The preceding is a wise policy unless the wrong is something incredibly wrong.
