Not sure why the HN article opted to go for "I Still Use Vim" instead of the article title, "Why I Still Use Vim".
The former just makes you sound like an Arch Linux user.
- Jtsummers 6y ago"Why" is removed from posts by default, the submitter (or a mod) has to edit the title to reinsert it if it's correct. Same thing happens to numbers (10 Ways to ...). It's a quality of title thing, I vaguely recall but can no longer describe well the rationale for why "Why" is removed but I think it was to do with it being superfluous for many titles.
- Koshkin 6y agoFunny enough, when I used a news aggregator I eventually decided to hide posts with titles that start with "Why" (along with a few others; I don't think I missed much).
