Not everyone is you. While I agree that flashy graphics are silly in the command line, I find color-based highlighting to be quite useful.

    > Never claimed that was the case. Whether you claimed it is not in question. You're saying "[color in the terminal] is the work of the devil", which has a clear intent to dissuade people from coloring terminal output. Which, frankly, is insanity. Most apps do it well nowadays: --color=auto/always/never, usually defaulting to auto. So when GP says "not everyone is you", they mean be considerate. If you want color off, you're being catered for. But don't try and push that choice on everybody who isn't you.

      "Catered to", "dissuade", "push that choice" and "insanity"? Now this is just getting silly. You are taking my comments far too seriously.

        No, you're making bad jokes in a context where they aren't welcome. You may want to try Reddit or Slashdot. They enjoy this sort of thing, I understand.

          Thank goodness we have you and others to police the jokes. Remain vigilant! Keep up the good work.

            Do you feel that being an asshole will make you more acceptable to the community?
