One thing I've learned here is that it's much better to encourage what you like than bitch about things sucking. I don't like the posts that say "weird new tool that everyone but you has heard about has released a new version!" I tried criticizing those posts and got downvoted, probably legitimately. But my #1 upvoted comment ever, by at least a factor of 3, was this one[1] where I praised a tmux posting that very clearly said what tmux was for someone unfamiliar with the concept. So clearly I struck a nerve and other people feel the way I do, but I just had to find a positive way to encourage what I wanted.
