16:10 <geoff> khuxkm|lounge: Lovecraft is pretty quotable

∟ I am afraid to ask how is the vim vs emacs balance here
[ben] 17:55
∟ pretty solid balance i think
[desvox] 17:56
∟ i use emacs like vim but it also fries my breakfast, controls the city
  traffic lights, and makes sure i dont die in my sleep
[threkk] 17:57
∟ does it also edit text?
[ben] 17:57
∟ i sure hope so :P
[desvox] 17:57
∟ threkk: lots of text
[desvox] 17:58
∟ all the text, it is the all seeing eye of the universe
[desvox] 17:58
∟ alternatively it is a kitchen sink full of dead cats
[ben] 17:59
∟ omf
