I didn't care for this video. I thought it was light on content and the narrator had some pretty annoying mannerisms. "...cuz you know, like back in the day we didn't have fancy X-windows where we could you-know move around and play on the web and look at porn and shit... so it was uh...you know, I mean... screen... but screen is still definitely, you know.. something that is really good to use." I do however agree with him that screen and vim are both pretty kickass, I just think he could have done a better job showing why.

I was surprised at how much the swearing and hesitating grated on me. I'm usually the first guy who wishes presenters would lighten up and joke around a little, but for some reason I couldn't stomach more than 3 minutes of this video. I just kept thinking, "Man... this is really unprofessional." I hope they don't revoke my sarcastic hippy license... I'm actually kind of jealous that it's got 26 upvotes on the frontpage. That's a lot! I love vim and screen with all my heart; maybe I should make a video like this, too. I feel like I could do them justice better.

yeh, apologies to anyone who finds the way I talk offensive -- this is how I talk 'normally' 24/7 -- anyone who has ever met me knows this is how I talk -- kinda surprised so many people get offended by it considering 70% of the internet... anyways, your right, I should have organized my thoughts a bit more before getting into this -- I tried writing them down on a notecard beforehand but eventually I was like 'fuck it'

  Yeah dude, I gotta say that it could have been pulled off better in that respect. It's not that I was offended--I curse all the time, depending on context. It's just that the stutters and "shits" didn't really add anything, and made it all harder to follow. I say, if you can drop the f-bomb and get an honest chuckle out of your audience, then by all means, go for it. But if it's just usual "filler" crap, avoid it.
