Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.
Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I think Vim bindings are dumb and get in the way. I will never understand the appeal of modal editing. Emacs was always the superior program since it was released by Richard Stallman in 1985.
Stallman didn’t invent Emacs; Moon and Steele did. Stallman ported it from TECO to Lisp — and not a particularly good Lisp. GNU Emacs shoulda been replaced by something in Common Lisp or Scheme decades ago.
U wot mate
I’m sorry that I don’t HJKL everywhere. Some people prefer their refined and exquisite: C-b, C-n, C-p, C-f.
Easily agreed.
That being said I can’t go back from my meow modal keybindings
Clearly you haven’t ever used vim bindings
Angry vim noises.
I prefer Microsoft/Apple/IBM style key bindings (Ctrl+X to cut, Ctrl+V to paste, etc). Text editors don’t need to have a completely different set of key bindings from everything else.
Anyone that uses either is just doing so to feel superior, people sitting on 64 gig of ram, 32 core processors, 4090 gfx cards but they can’t spare the system resources for a proper gui? People only like them because they’re hard to use and awkward.
Yes, to feel superior to all those ELECTRON app users.
Ewwwwwwww electronnnn.
Emacs has a proper gui by default. You have to give it option to make it run in the terminal.
