- Volt 9y agoCynical and disingenuous.
- B1FF_PSUVM 9y agoBitterly invidious Lisp nerd? (They give off rays or something ... took a cursory look to see if I was being unfair, and booom - https://www.gkayaalp.com/blog/20170206_emacs-argument.html https://www.gkayaalp.com/blog/20170206_emacs-argument.html )
- gkya 9y agoYeah that's me :) At least the second part, because with Emacs I don't really need to be invidious. TBH I do actually like Unix and Plan9, but having read a big part of cat-v website in the past, most of the views there are fanatical, and are more bitter, cynical and disingenuous than I can ever force myself to be. Especially the way incredibly useful and important OSS projects are denigrated and misrepresented is really annoying (see the harmful stuff section, for example).
- B1FF_PSUVM 9y agoWell, I apologize and withdraw the 'bitterly invidious', you aren't. One part is a matter of taste, and having been around both styles, I like better the 'keep it simple' approach. Too many functions/options overload my simple brain ;-)
