People make fun of vi because it’s hard to get out, but it says right there: “esc : w q”. Whereas getting out of emacs apparently requires the gradual realization over the course of decades that all of your heroes are monsters and the ideological basis of the liberatory movements you championed in your youth are inherently flawed, and they are futile exercises

@glyph So... what if I never got out. What if that first time, I stumbled upon a key combination that created a virtual reality simulation of the entire universe?

That actually might explain a lot...

@tob you can kill-emacs any time you like, but you can never leave
