One thing I worry about with these extremely customized keyboard configs and such is that once you get used to them, you will have a hard time using any other computer when you suddenly need to. Maybe this isn't such a big problem with physical keyboards, but can be with e.g. text editor configs, which you can't take along if you need to SSH into many servers during a workday and work with whatever is installed there.

- mekster 6y agoI always find this argument nonsense. Most people will be on their computer for 99% of the time and sacrificing for the rest of 1% doesn't make sense. I had a colleague who had been using vim without customization because of that reason and he's always on his computer but I find the reasoning very odd.
