I mean, I’m happy that this was not a yet another sysadmin/programmer-as-writer justification (adjusting one’s whole workflow based on the handful of terminal programs that one uses).
EDIT: Meaning that I think this kind of justification is more interesting since it is meant to affect the process of writing itself.
- michaelmior 4y agoI won't say I'm not guilty of that too sometimes. Although I don't think it's so bad. If there's a tool that you really like using that can be adapted to work in a variety of scenarios, I can understand the justification. For some of the things I do, there probably are better tools for the job, but if I can make use of existing tools I already know how to use well, even if in a suboptimal way, that might be more worthwhile to me than investing in learning something new.
