Religious war

"Religious war" is a term used in the programming community (mainly the Unix community). It refers to heated debates on some subject of interest to the community, discussed over a long time and without clear results. A typical religious war is what text editor is best: Emacs or vi? (the Editor wars).

Of course, not everyone will accept that a specific debate is a religious war, as the term in a sense denotes such debate as futile.
