HN's obsession with text editors lately has really got on my nerves. Be it TextMate, Vim, Sublime Text2, Emacs, whatever, I'm sick of people talking about text editors and how they have or haven't changed their lives. There are good reasons to pick any of the above editors, so please pick one, use it, and shut up about it already.
Text editing is one of the most basic and common things that technology professionals do, and to spend so much time anguishing over the decision of what tool to use is a kind of bikeshedding that to me feels beneath HN.
