My point was more the strength of language relative to the seriousness of the issue at stake - or, more precisely, the non-issues that aren't really at stake at all. I couldn't count how many people I've met who can type fine on a QWERTY keyboard, but I can count on one finger (one finger... of one hand!) the number of people I've met who can type on a Dvorak keyboard. And that one finger would be counting me. Or maybe you can just assume I've never met myself - and then I don't even need any fingers at all.
(I once worked with a contract programmer, who had been somewhat famous in his own way in the past. Aged mid 40s I guess, so he'd been doing this for 25 years or whatever. Anyway, due to his line of work, and his fame, I'm figuring he'd met a lot of people over this period. And apparently I was the very first person he'd ever met to use the Dvorak layout.)
"Storm in a teacup"? LOL, as they say. Doesn't even begin to describe it...
- coldtea 14y agoIn that case I agree. Though, one man's teacup could be another man's sea. I mean, we discus like Vim vs Emacs, or CL vs Clojure all the time, things that are also totally peripheral and unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
