I use visual studio.

your flame alert is nothing compared to mine.

but yours is not referring to an ongoing war

[cavesomething]

indeed, if you want a flame war you should stick to the classics.

emacs vs vi

gnome vs KDE

Linux vs BSD

OS/2 vs Windows.

Amiga OS vs BeOS

Kirk vs Picard

Babylon 5 vs DS9

ST: Enterprise vs anything (well, ok, that would be more of a troll than anything else....)

atari vs amiga

macs vs IBM compatibles

playstation 2 vs xbox

snes/famicon vs mega drive/genesis

C64 vs Spectrums (possibly more a uk specific one that)

mySQL vs PostgresSQL

sendmail vs postfix vs qmail

bind vs djndns (sp?)

gimp vs photoshop

OOffice.org vs MS Office vs Word perfect

qwerty vs dvorak

netscape vs IE

It's modern form
firefox vs opera vs safari/konqueror

nethack vs angband

democrats vs republicans

communism vs capitalism

logitech vs microsoft (mice)

thundercats vs transformers

mario vs sonic

wine vs cedega

vmware vs qemu

*nix vs VMS

gentoo vs debian

red hat vs suse vs mandrake

sensi soccer vs kick off.

street fighter 2 vs body blows. (last two possibly a little amiga specific....)

monkey island vs king's quest

matrix vs Existenz (though the proponents of the first camp have been quieter since the sequals...)

arnold swarznegger vs slyvester stallone

coke vs pepsi

I think they are the major ones, I possibly missed a few though, still all of them are good for a big flame fest in the right places.

You forgot:
Anti-women's-rights vs ... seemingly everyone

[Rednaxela]

mikee: well, if you look at history as a whole, yes that could arguably be considered a classic, though in the very short term (like cave's examples) it wouldn't be considered a 'classic' by most people

i think mikees would be better as ontopic vs what the hell is a topic???
