Not to take away from the post, anyone else feeling a bit of Vim overload in the past few days? I'm pretty much Vim'ed out with all the Vim related postings.
I don't really understand what you mean. People submit vim-related content, which then gets upvoted and brought to everyone's attention on Hacker News.
It might just be that it actually reflects people's interests.
Given how established vim and emacs are, I have to say I'm not surprised, they remain extremely versatile and complete developing environments to this day.
I actually use Vim. I don't have any issues with it. I do agree with you that it's a great tool.
Just pointing out that lately there has been a lot of Vim related posts that are being up-voted. Maybe that's been the case for a while, and I am just noticing it.
Anyway, my comment was meant more as a light humour rather than critical.
