Emacs vs. vi; PC vs. Mac; Windows vs. Linux; Sony vs. Nintendo. Holy wars of technological preference have been nothing new since the adolescence of computing technology, and are often the subject of many a debate here.
However, a recent argument between two roommates about the superiority of Apple vs. Android technologies has taken a bloody turn worthy of a bromance movie sequence:
As they tussled in a parking lot, the men allegedly struck and jabbed each other with broken beer bottles. Mendez and Ecevo suffered minor wounds during the fight and were transported to a local hospital for treatment of cuts and bruises.
Which raises the question - How close have you all come to violence during a technological argument?

The real answer is that they're all proprietary trash designed to subjugate users.

vi is open source.
GNU/Systemd (formerly known as Linux) is also open source.
They aren't proprietary. They are works of the entire community.

I was referring to Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft stuff, etc., and not the things you mention.
