> Marmite vs Vegemite is a niche holy war of emacs vs vi levels

I'm deeply offended by this.

I started to write up a comment in my head about how this is a completely false equivalency, Marmite and Vegemite are basically the same thing: two brands of yeast paste while Vi vs Emacs are two very distinct editors with very distinct features. I was going to indignantly point out that while a Vi user put in front of emacs would be hard-pressed to see ANY similarities a vegemite fan given marmite probably couldn't tell the difference!

Then I realized: I am the problem and decided to adapt my comment for fake internet points.

Vi is definitely better though.

I am now imagining this on dating platforms: Male/white/he,his/Marmite/Vi

Already said male, no pronouns needed

Exactly, and you're dead right only the protagonists care. BTW, the War's been running nearly a century,
