ghost informed us about:

Nothing warms the soul on a cold winter morning like a VI vs EMACS flamewar. But when was the last time you saw one? Kids these days, using their javascript-powered editors. And with VI and EMACS both eligible for Social Security, perhaps their fighting days are over. But fear not! A new generation of VI and EMACS is here to fight and fight and fight fight fight.

Neovim (github) is a VIM fork for the 21st century. Removing cruft (like support for the Amiga platform where VIM originated) and other updates.

Spacemacs (github) claims to be a "Mnemonic, Discoverable, Consistent, and Crowd-Funded" (vim and emacs) distribution. Confused? Me too.
