> has been pretty solidly invalidated by GP How exactly has it been invalidated? By pointing out that SOME widely used software (mostly web/web infra with unix heritage) has been written using vim/emacs as the text editor? Now, you can find endless sea of garbage software on github that is written using riced vim/emacs setups - would you therefore conclude that using vim/emacs leads to garbage software? The only thin…

I cannot conclude that "it leads to garbage software", but I can definitely conclude that "it has ever led to garbage software" at least once, and in some "shape or form". > Claiming vim/emacs leads to or directly contributes to "quality software" is the same This (or the alluded opposite) was not the original claim.

You contorted it to mean that it's literally impossible to write "quality software" in vim/emacs.
I did NOT claim this. Nobody would claim this either.
