Vim.dev is redirected to Emacs website

An Emacs user bought the vim.dev domain and mistakenly forwarded to the Emacs website while trying to press some key combination using a CAPS LOCK to CTRL mapped keyboard.

spaces.dev is still available, in case someone wants to buy it and redirect to something like tabs.com

And the never-ending Editor War goes on

Should redirect to this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.emacswiki.org&#x2F;emacs&#x2F;Evil" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.emacswiki.org&#x2F;emacs&#x2F;Evil</a><p>And emacs.dev to: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vim.org&#x2F;scripts&#x2F;script.php?script_id=300" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vim.org&#x2F;scripts&#x2F;script.php?script_id=300</a>

I&#x27;ve seen a big dropoff in everyday people using Emacs in the past 10 years. For terminal text editors, people seem to be ok with learning enough about Vim to be semi-productive.

emacs.dev doesn&#x27;t even redirect to the emacs website. Sometimes these types of things are ok. On reddit there is the funny example of r&#x2F;trees being all about marijuana and r&#x2F;marijuanaenthusiasts being all about trees. Maybe someone can redirect emacs.dev to the vim website.

This is probably the funniest prank I&#x27;ve seen this year.

Can’t stand this war. That’s why I moved to Atom!

Breaking: Some brave Vim user bought emacs.tech and forwarded to vim.org bug `tech` tld doesn&#x27;t feel the same. Someone should reach out to emacs.dev owner.

That is strange, buying vim.dev was probably not cheap. Perhaps the owner did this as a joke until they get their vim.dev site setup?

cf. emacs.sexy (a useful list of resources) with vim.sexy (a satirical page).<p>:( Vim doesn&#x27;t seem to have much luck with cute TLDs.

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;emacs.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;emacs.dev</a> redirects to vim.org

Now that’s some hacktivism!

lol

I&#x27;ve never understood these editor wars. Isn&#x27;t Vim simply a terminal editor, while Emacs is a GUI do-it-all?

Since Bram works for google, and google clearly ok with this. Can we say This is “Bram approved”? ;)
