Yes, #Emacs. You can render SVG. Very clever. But I actually want to *edit the text* of the file (you know, in a text editor. Like... oh, $DEITY, never mind).
Yes, Emacs, you almost certainly do have some weird key combination to switch back to ACTUALLY BEING A TEXT EDITOR, but I don't know it, and, being Emacs, you're too damned arrogant to make it discoverable.

An Emacs window. You know, Emacs -- the 'Editor Macros' text editor. Editing an SVG file. Except, it isn't. It is very prettily, and accurately, rendering the file. (The file shows a recursively drawn tree, and a recursive spiral). 

If I wanted to render the file, I have lots of excellent tools to do that. I WANT AN EXCELLENT TOOL TO EDIT TEXT, and otherwise just stay out of my way! 

Stupid piece of shit.

This is a visual joke. The image shows text of an example "hello world" coding function, once labelled a "regular function" and once labeled a "recursive function." However, the only difference is that the "recursive function" is written in cursive script.
