This has been a lighthearted fake rivalry for as long as these text editors have existed.
I'd even say as long as text editors have existed at all
That's because we all know which is the obvious superior text editor.
Neovim-HEAD or you’re a boomer.
Helix, the true choice among champions.
Windows 11 Notepad.
The AI helps me corrupt my .txt faster.
But I wouldn't be surprised if the memes give outsiders the impression that there is a real text editor war.
It’s not a war, war implies a fight, it’s a one sided massacre.
