Constructing meaning from coincidence

Derek Thurn has written probably the best comparison of Vim and Emacs ever written. In particular, he's confirmed that I'm not the only person in the known universe who uses vi for quick sysadmin editing tasks and emacs for larger scale coding efforts. And he's managed to do this in the most fence-straddling way possible.
I'd also add that Gabriel Lanaro's emacs for python starter kit tipped the scales in favor of emacs for me having come from vim.
My name is David Watson. I'm a creative person from a small town in Western Pennsylvania called Fallston. I went to school in the Beaver and New Brighton school districts before graduating from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.
I met my wife, Wendy teaching at Mars High School where I taught the drum line and she taught the color guard. After graduation, we lived in Boston and Seattle before returning to the Pittsburgh area, where I earn my living making software.
