I can understand that. It was already clear that you are not the type to give time to learn about rather elaborate tools that have higher learning curves than the average. That's ok. It may not be a part of YOUR everyday life. But not everybody is living your life.
The difference between you and me is that you are implying that vim is pointless and wrong. I'm saying that everybody should go with whatever works best for them and that every approach has their benefits.
Also, attacking my operating system has nothing to do with this discussion. Not a very effective rhetorical method.
- hungerstrike 8y agoI agree that everybody should use what works best for them. So there’s definitely value in that. Typically when I pose an argument in a thread like this, about a technology that I don’t prefer, it’s due to the fact that a multitude of users have badgered me over my own preferences elsewhere, saying that their technology is clearly superior. I use Windows, Linux and Mac in that order of frequency and I like them all for different reasons and I dislike them all for different reasons. A ton of users on HN react badly to anyone who isn’t just like them. So, I was being a bit defensive sorry.
