Because we haven't come up with anything better. Neovim, Vim, or Emacs combined with Unix make a better IDE than an IDE. With a fuzzy finder, Neovim start up in milliseconds and can scale to projects with several thousand files, comple

The python plugin that is recommended has switched from `pyls` to the Microsoft Python Language Server (the same one that powers the Visual Studio Code Python extension), written in C#. The extension comes bundled with a .NET Core interpret

The very best RSS reader in my not-so-humble opinion is the FOSS [Newsboat]( https://newsboat.org/ ), the spiritual successor to Newsbeauter. It can pipe article links and text through other programs. I can pipe YouTube video

I concede the point on mouseability/clicking-and-dragging, but I respectfully disagree with your other points on what GUIs offer. Everything else you described is easily available via already-existing CLI wrappers for git. I described

Yes! If you're comfortable with a terminal but would rather have a TUI than an CLI, I recommend `tig`[0] or `lazygit`[1]. If you want to launch a separate GUI program in its own window to use git, git-cola[2] isn't too bad. It loo

I never really understood why sites like GitHub use a "fun image" and quirky message do display error codes. On the other hand, at least they bothered to display a proper error code instead of some abomination like this[0]. [0]:

I have a partially colorblind friend who loves to point out how awful some website palettes and editor colorschemes are. I've switched to more accessible colorschemes as a result. I'm sure she'd be interested in projects like

I disagree that this is in the tradition of projects like TinyC; I wouldn't call this project "tiny" in the same way I would call TinyC "tiny" because this project uses LLVM, which is quite large and complex.

The point of copyleft is more ideological; it prevents others from using your software to restrict user freedoms, thereby limiting the spread of harmful, nonfree software. Copyleft is primarily intended to protect users.

The main selling point for ZSH, for me at least, isn't the shell itself; it's the plugin ecosystem. Zplugin[0] allows me to load plugins and programs in the background without slowing down startup time, and makes it easy to carry

Really cool! I'd suggest taking a look at `fast-syntax-highlighting` [0] and `zplugin` [1]. `zplugin` supports a lot of features such as completion management and lazy/conditionally loading plugins to reduce startup time. [0]: ht

You can get intellisense in neovim with coc.nvim[0], which supports the full language server protocol. I've got it running with several VSCode extensions ported over to coc extensions, as well as the Microsoft Python Language Server. [

System76, Purism's Librem, ZaReason, Entroware, and ThinkPenguin all make excellent Linux laptops. Dell's XPS and Inspiron laptops typically have good support as well. OpenSUSE, KDE Neon, Fedora, Xubuntu, and Manjaro are all solid

For development, I find Anaconda much better than pip. [This Stack Overflow reponse]( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20994716/what-is-the-dif... ) answers your question pretty well.

It has some negative connotations worth disagreeing with, though. I for one am pro-Webextensions (WE) because the legacy APIs gave all addons unlimited privileges and kept Firefox internals from improving. WE apis have come miles; even Tree
