I don't think you need to shoehorn every piece of software you like into one worldview. It's OK to like two different things. Contradiction is a fact of nature

I don't think you need to shoehorn every piece of software you like into one worldview. It's OK to like two different things. Contradiction is a fact of nature when discourse is linear but reality is anything but. Unix philosophy was amazing in the 70s, modern linuxes are great work environments now, EMACS is super cool, vim is a great little piece of text editing beauty. One thing is clear tho, Windows users have a severe case of Stockholm syndrome.
- pjmlp 4y agoI love my Stockholm syndrome on .NET, Visual Studio, Delphi, C++ Builder, PowerShell, DirectX.
- namaria 4y agoGood on you, I will keep chugging along with bash and go in the server rooms.
- eternityforest 4y agoI don't think anyone has Stockholm syndrome. Windows works very well at basic chromebook like tasks and runs proprietary software well, most of the time. Linux is just now patching up the last few big issues and fully catching up to Windows, and it's really only Mint and a few others that have windows parity. If you try any distro a linux enthusiast will probably recommend, like Manjaro, you can generally expect to fuss with stuff more than you would on windows by far. And Mac is tightly tied to their non desktop metaphor UI that relies entirely on idiomatic gestures. Windows isn't great, but it works and it's easy.
- namaria 4y agoPlease, Ubuntu is super easy to use. Windows has been putting ads inside your desktop environment and yeah no-one is gonna move on from it because they love to be captive to that ecosystem. Textbook Stockholm syndrome.
