Go to the store?

What kind of crack are you smoking? See, it isn't nice being dissed, is it? Seriously, I've never had to "go the store" (sic) to buy software for work. My employer purchases it. The computer support people install it. I sit down and use it. I'll bet responses from technical writers would be different in companies where OpenOffice.org and GIMP were the standard applications supported by the IT department.

Oh, and both Emacs and Vi are huge sucking time sinks. Ever tried to use help in Emacs? I'd rather use a modern editor or IDE.
