"This is a brief heads-up that the reason I’ve been blog silent lately is that I’m concentrating hard on a sprint with what I consider a large payoff: getting the Emacs project fully converted to git. In retrospect, choosing Bazaar as DVCS was a mistake that has presented unnecessary friction costs to a lot of contributors. RMS gets this and we’re moving.
I’m also talking with RMS about the possibility that it’s time to shoot Texinfo through the head and go with a more modern, Web-friendly master format. Oh, and time to abolish info entirely in favor of HTML. He’s not entirely convinced yet of this, but he’s listening."
He's also involved in freeing code-repositories from their prisons, and porting them to other versioning systems, with the Reposurgeon. See https://gitorious.org/reposurgeon/
"reposurgeon enables risky operations that version-control systems don’t want to let you do, such as (1) editing past comments and metadata, (2) excising commits, (3) coalescing commits, and (4) removing files and subtrees from repo history. The original motivation for reposurgeon was to clean up artifacts created by repository conversions. It also functions as a repository conversion tool. Supported VCSes include git, hg, bzr, and Subversion."
GPLv2-or-layer is effectively GPLv2 plus recipient-friendly features. It is NOT suitable for the intended purpose of GPLv3, which adds restrictions on the recipient (for the benefit of 2nd-order recipients of derivatives).
neocomplete is also my preferred autocomplete plugin. it integrates very well with all of shougo's other plugins, and it works on windows. YCM officially does not support windows and it's not uncommon for it to be broken for a week or two.
i'm a big fan of jetbrains, but this is a poorly written article.

i don't see how this is any different from opening every toolbar window in PyCharm and cluttering the interface.

emacs evil does the best emulation. IdeaVim fails at two of the most important emulation tasks: escape and undo.
i used webstorm for a while to do javascript/html, but once i got proficient with vim it wasn't even close. just like how people are going crazy with livereload and how it makes development awesome, that's how i feel with using vim. it does what i tell it to do NOW, not 3 seconds from now.
the OP doesn't even mention anything about taxes, which shifts things even more in favor of index investing.
