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.

Spoken like a dirty Emacs Orc!

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?

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

Not for short urls, those range from $92 to $720

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

Both have terminal and gui interfaces. The main difference (by default) is that vim has a mode for moving around and a mode for entering text and emacs does both at the same time (mostly by holding ctrl for moving around), but both can be configured out the wazoo to do either to some degree.
