Vim.dev is redirected to Emacs website

emacs.dev doesn't even redirect to the emacs website. Sometimes these types of things are ok. On reddit there is the funny example of r/trees being all about marijuana and r/marijuanaenthusiasts being all about trees. Maybe someone can redirect emacs.dev to the vim website.

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?

I've never understood these editor wars. Isn't Vim simply a terminal editor, while Emacs is a GUI do-it-all?

The sunrise period ended yesterday. All .devs are now only 12USD/year

And the never-ending Editor War goes on

At this point I think it's just bunch of guys pulling pranks on each other. Most people in the industry don't care what you use as long as your code comes out clear, fast and secure.

cf. emacs.sexy (a useful list of resources) with vim.sexy (a satirical page).

:( Vim doesn't seem to have much luck with cute TLDs.
