About a month ago I shared a screenshot that someone had captured showing
that when one googled for emacs, there was a sponsored ad for vi.

My impression is that this is the overwhelming majority view in this world:
PR does not matter.
IOW You want it both ways:
1. Our PR is not good enough for movie makers to be interested in us
2. PR does not matter
Let me give a martial arts analogy:
If you only 'mirror' (is that the word?) the opponent, you cannot win because he has first-mover advantage
If you only calculate your own moves and techniques and ignore the opponent, you cant win because you will be surprised.
