Zot O'Connor's initial fantasy for the AT talk was that it would be
(or could be) somewhat contentious, and for some time it was billed
that way. I guess in contrast to the general meeting talk that ought
to be polite (or something). In my experience, having attended about
90% of the AT talks since their inception, they have never really been
very contentious. No one has ever even had a serious argument over
emacs and vi. I guess the vi weenies eventually realized their
unmitigatable inferiority and gave up. Emacs rules forever! ;-)
