This has been a lighthearted fake rivalry for as long as these text editors have existed.

That's because we all know which is the obvious superior text editor.

Windows 11 Notepad.

Helix, the true choice among champions.

I'd even say as long as text editors have existed at all

Most old ones - older than vi - are terrible. I have to sometimes use the IBM mainframe editor at work. It is terrible.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the memes give outsiders the impression that there is a real text editor war.

It’s not a war, war implies a fight, it’s a one sided massacre.
