Ah - Paul Lutus, the fantastically boring, ridiculously bad wig-wearing dinosaur manages to wheel himself into another discussion by popular demand from no-one at all to remind the participants how he wrote Apple Writer and worked on the Space Shuttle and is a multimillionare. How many people use Apple Writer these days Paul? Is it more than Vim? A number closer to zero? The bitterness seething out of your every pore that your software has been consigned to the graveyard of history whilst Vim is growing in popularity is so tangible!
- lutusp 13y agoImagine bolstering your fantasies with evidence. Apple Writer was retired at just the right moment -- when something better came along. That's how technology works, and no one was more pleased than I was. > The bitterness seething out of your every pore that your software has been consigned to the graveyard ... Dream on, moron. Apple Writer belongs in a museum along with vi. What's astonishing is that people are still using vi when there are any number of much better choices. > ... whilst Vim is growing in popularity is so tangible! Based on that fantasy, you may want to resume your medication.
- jeremysmyth 13y agoI feel the need to point out that everyone else is talking about vim, but you're talking about vi. Could that explain some of the differences in how you remember things based on how they are? (redux)
- lutusp 13y ago> I feel the need to point out that everyone else is talking about vim, but you're talking about vi. Yes, and vim = vi with decorations, but essentially the same editor. Or did you miss the first time I pointed that out?
- klibertp 13y agoHeh, that was completely unneeded, really.
