you rude and condescending ***.

And, of course, calling someone an *** is /not/ rude.

Sure it is, but in your case, it's richly deserved.

If they'd benefit from a change, then whatever they're currently doing
is suboptimal. If they wouldn't benefit from a change, then whatever
they're currently doing is optimal. It's that simple. It's inarguable.

That depends entirely on the cost of the change.

A one-time cost is irrelevant, of course, since even a small but
recurring benefit will eventually bring the books into the black. A
rational actor would therefore save up for that cost and then deploy
the change. Economic theory posits that market forces emerge from the
actions of rational actors. It follows from Economics 101 and your own
claims that emacs should have the highest market share of text
editors. Yet it clearly does not. Economics 101 is unlikely to be
wrong; therefore, you are, Bent.

Your tendency towards intellectual dishonesty is showing, by the way.
In the Great Copyright Debate you argued against preserving copyright
on the nearly identical grounds that the one time cost of creating a
work would always eventually be recouped by its downstream benefits in
one way or another, so works would get created.

If you insist on arguing anyway you're a fucking crazy person.

Not obscure and especially non-North-American ones, no. Not that that
is relevant to Java, or even to emacs.

And not that is was non-North-American, of course.

Obscure AND ESPECIALLY non-North-American ones, o Bent Still Repeating
the Third Grade Dalager. :P Keep trying; maybe someday you'll get a D-
instead of an F in reading comprehension* and finally graduate. And
then you can begin repeating the fourth grade! How exciting! :P

* If only because of a sympathetic teacher, or sheer luck (a stopped
clock is right twice a day).

Or hadn't you noticed that the emacs market share is somewhere south
of 0.0001% now?

Most emacs installations do not contribute to any kind of market share
since the software is distributed freely.

Oh, no, not this BS again.

Tell it to http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=0 -- I'm
sure they'll love reading about how all of their Web browser market
share figures must have been pulled out of a hat because there's no
such thing as a market share for software that's distributed freely.
They'll get a good laugh out of it, I'd wager, and thank you for
cheering up their holidays.

The reason the ratio has been falling is largely the explosion in
computer users over the last decade or two, not a decrease in
absolute numbers of emacs users.

And your evidence to support this bald assertion being?

Bollocks. Cite some reference supporting this claim or admit that you
pulled it directly out of your ass.

Sure

OK; admission that you pulled it directly out of your ass noted for
the record.
