+When I was attending college; both the teachers and the faculty of
+computer science recommended Emacs. Most course work and homework
+was designed for it. Every student I knew used Emacs. It wasn't a
+matter of personal decision, but an imposition of a tool.
+
+Six years ago, my devotion for Vim and fast text editing started. It
+turned into a habit that I no longer need. For the past years, most
+of my craft was dedicated to the end user, and the pragmatic design.
+My current job activities are to fine tune application logic and
+re-factor code. On a daily basis, aside from Emacs, I use ack, a pen,
+and some paper.
+
+*Why Emacs?*
+
+  - I think before typing
+  - complies with the [[http://www.moolenaar.net/habits.html][seven habits of effective text editing]]
+  - adheres to configuration conventions
+  - [[http://orgmode.org/guide/Preface.html#Preface][Org Mode]] - The killer feature
+  - LISP dialect interpreter integrated
+  - configuration and extensions in a LISP dialect
+  - extensions and packages for every task out there
+  - [[http://melpa.milkbox.net/][MELPA]]
+  - [[Http://emacswiki.org][Emacs Wiki]]
+
+Vim taught me what fast text editing is, how an editor should
+behave, how to edit text effectively, and how the OS & editor
+combination works. Both editors suffice the opinionated, and most
+user cases.
+
+The war is over.
