imaging being so disconnected from reality to think that your editor of choice if something to brag about
Of course, you say, driving some expensive car means you get more attention, right? Well, yes, and it doesn't make you any better of a person...if your text editor is your car and people care about what car you drive, then maybe it also gets you some attention...
But yes it is sad that we get wrapped up in the unimportant things in life. Good to have some escapes, too, though.
But sure I guess you're right, as long as there is an audience willing to listen you can brag about anything. I can count on one hand people in my real life circle who would care about me using emacs.
Cars are different, they are related to economical accomplishment, which is more universally accepted as something to brag about.
