I was in a similar situation, tried a few times but always bounced off. In the end, a job where I had to use vim (because connection to our remote dev machines was abysmally slow) forced me to learn it. I think that even then for some tim

Can somebody tl;dr what is new in there? I tried jumping through the video, but there seems to be a lot of fluff and background exposition for the assumed "not in the loop audience" of TED. So I'm not sure where some new stuf

Uh; still not sure, but given no clear "extra features" confirmation, I guess this means just a domain name change for end-users (?). Unless the "more to share" is a cryptic allusion to potentially some new features? But

I don't think I fully understand: for open-source repos, does it only mean that the Travis-CI domain will change from .org to .com? Or are there some extra features on .com which will become available to me after the migration?

Wow, ok, this is seriously insightful and mindblowing for me! I'd never think of such a danger vector, but with your hint I can now totally understand the reason for caution. However painful it feels. Thanks for the reply! :)

Why would they need/want to add the Disclaimer? ( "This software is published for academic and non-commercial use only." ) By fear of some patent violation? Or do they plan for commercial use (e.g. licensing to Photoshop) and
