The greatest of all usabilities

Ran across the definitive answer to the text editor wars (vi vs. emacs) today, and thought, hey, it’s also the definitive answer to usability:Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity.

Gotta love the “eat flaming death” part.

There’s a lot of other fun stuff at the GNU humor project. Mind boggling that I’d never come across this before. Guess I never thought to look for humor on the GNU site.
