- spdionis 4y agoPlease do impose those unwanted constraints thank you!
- moffkalast 4y agoExactly, that's the whole damn point. It's to constrain those app devs from making stupid UI choices.
- wiseowise 4y agoDon’t use them if you don’t like them.
- allarm 4y agoI use vim keys everywhere I can, so from my standpoint “stupid” UI choices are the ones that don’t support modality. I would really prefer having vim keys optional built ins everywhere. Your situation is simpler though - you can just avoid using vim or whatever, there’s plenty of other options available. Also calling personal preferences of lots of people “stupid” is far from reasonable. I’ve met a lot of smart folks who used vim and emacs, so from my personal experience it’s not correct.

And at this point I will move to the next thing closest to what I believe is the Linux philosophy. But right now, I would say simply: "if you want the macOS philosophy, use macOS". And don't get me wrong: macOS is great.
