The section headed "Current state of the editor war seems to refer largely to 1999. That's not really current at the time of writing (2014). Perhaps it ought to be renamed or updated? -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:630:D0:F111:BDB8:5CD6:8D81:39B8 ( talk) 08:59, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
Interesting that there doesn't seem to exist any article about the other editor war : The "Wordprocessor War" between MS Word and WordPerfect. It almost sounds as if the Editor War described here was so much more important that no-one thought of making an Wikipedia article on that other Editor war, cynically speaking ...

In an article where a GNU product is being discussed, it's sad to see that the operating system is being referred to as Linux instead of GNU/Linux. Please give credit to the FSF where credit is due. Linux is just the kernel, not the operating system. Sandy2712 ( talk) 09:20, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
-Vi utility: Vi is useful for raw to the metal editing on small devices with minimal power. It appears Emacs is a larger system possibly not applicable to low level device editing.
-Vi cost respect of FOSS: Vi was distributed for free, whereas Emacs could cost hundreds of dollars. Source: /info/en/?search=Vi_(text_editor) -> History -> Distribution -> paragraph 1. Eiger3970 ( talk) 22:51, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
