By all means start a war -- one that I can watch from the sidelines
and learn from.

Keyboard-centric is fine. Of course, I don't mind typing commands as
well, and I like the fact that Emacs has an integrated programming
languathe. But ... (Googling) ... I see that vim has a language,
too, and includes support for others, including Python, which I've
recently invested a bit of time in learning. It would have to be
Python 3, though, for me to be interested.
