I guess the argument is that normal Ubuntu user who uses it just for web
surfing, email, photo editing, etc. are well off with gedit, nano or
something like but technically minded people always (for most part) like
challenges so vim, emacs does well for them.

Flame statements deteriorates the goodness in a mailing list. I agree.
It's usually good to avoid questions like vim vs. emacs, firefox vs.
konqueror type of question in a public mailing list because they tend to
signify that one software is better than the other and then all the
hooligans join the party screaming at each other. In the end nothing
beneficial happens.

Let's flourish this mailing list and Ubuntu. Not the other way round.

Just my 2 dollar.
