Both vim and Emacs are obsolescent and hard to use. Kate FTW!

On the contrary, they're both quite easy to use. They're just hard to learn. This
is intentional. If you're smart enough to use a real man's editor then you're
smart enough to send patches to other real men who are writing real men's software. We
don't actually want just /anyone/ writing code, do we? (well, Java people do, but its
impossible to do anything useful in Java anyway. That's why you need a gigantic
resource-intensive IDE to do everything for you).
