If I work on different environments or desks, customization is the last thing I want. I would rather have sane defaults and start being productive immediately.

- LeonidasXIV 5y agoThe same argument could be taken to the absurd by saying you only use notepad or nano because they're likely to be installed already so you can be immediately productive.
- pizza234 5y agoEven if the argument is taken to the absurd, the parent's approach can still be valid; if the user worked on an infinite number of environments (remember, this is the assumption of the parent poster), it'd be overall more productive to use barebone tools with zero learning overhead, rather than spending infinite time with the learning overhead of the infinite environments. The core point is overall productivity; it may still be more productive overall not to know some tools extremely well.
