Well, I've always found flame wars to be useful, as long as
the partisans try seriously to explain why their favorite
is better. You can learn a lot from such discussions,
including things that you'd never think to ask about.
For example, half of what I know about vi comes from the
emacs guys saying that vi can't do something, and some vi
user posting the command to do it. I've seen it go the
other way, too, though I don't use emacs enough to have
ever become fluent with it.
