   My painting (imho) is better than most professionals. I am not time or quality constrained, as I'm not running a business. I can buy good paint, brushes, and tape. I can take my time, I can let paint dry over multiple days, do touchup

    Your comment really resonates with me. Have you found a way to balance this? I counsel others that they should focus on prioritizing the infinite task list and working on the stuff that's going to make a difference, but it feels like

    It would be great to have some buttons in C-v mode to "y, p, x" ... and maybe you could (ab)-use %/* while in visual mode to allow rotation or flipping? Love it!

    I encourage you to spend time with a pianist. Your comparison is not supporting the point I think you're trying to make. I encourage you to differentiate between someone who diddles the keys for 10 minutes once a week vs. someone who

    Very important point (re: house key analogy). Houses and cars are 1000% not secure, you can always break a window and get access. That's why they have ARMORED cars and bank VAULTS or safes. However, if you break a window, or drill a ho
