As I diligently prepare for [PostgreSQL Conference East 09](<http://www.postgresqlconference/>) by trying to ensure that we have enough talks **(hint: talk submission closes Feb 27th)**. We have a suggested hotel and that everyone knows it is going on (including the Groovy, Python, MySQL, PHP and Ruby communities), I take heart in knowing that our community [PostgreSQL](<http://www.postgresql.org/>) can have a well thought out, pointed and [productive discussion](<http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-01/msg01799.php>) like no other. I was thinking what other great and historical discussions have we had? 

>   * Vi vs. Emacs? (answer: joe) 
>   * cvs vs. git vs. svn (answer: svn) 
>   * python versus perl (answer: Python) 
>   * C vs C++ (answer: C, but only because I have had patches accepted) 
>   * fbsd vs linux (answer: my nick is linupoet, you guess) 
>   * Red versus Blue (answer: They both suck) 
> 


Any that I missed?
