In the beginning (I assume.) there was machine code and only machine
code. And I imagine this was not very good. Then I assume the next

Heh. If anyone tries to start a Vim-versus-Emacs fight, feel free to
cite me as someone well experienced with both who sees no need to be
tribal about either of them.
