I had a wonderful year with dvorak and moved on for this exact reason. I also use boring old bash to get things done. That said, if a tool gives you a net productivity boost, you should probably adopt it. I'm pretty sure I was working

Gotta say, ET was not all that bad. But my expectations were low after playing too much Big Bird's Egg Catch.

Hashicorp does an amazing job explaining their products, especially their comparison pages. CoreOS could learn a thing or two.

While we are all going off-topic, I'd like to see a "collapse thread" feature on HN. Quite often the comments page is dominated by a tangential discussion as seen here.
