Not everyone uses Electron apps exclusively. The cross platform scene is much different these days. Electron apps suck, but at least they suck equally across all platforms. And there are many Electron apps. But a lot of people rely on Adobe

SE 3rd gen here as my daily driver. Small form factor and Touch ID. The perfect iPhone IMO. Not looking forward to having to settle for those comically large phones with Face ID for my next one.

Can you link to your Vim colorschemes? I have a light and a dark one that I hacked over the years but I'm always looking for new ones.

I think it's an interesting idea, but should be set as an option and default to off, for the reason you describe. If the user sets a sensible 16 color palette though, many old utils could look great out of the box. I'm enticed by

I may be a spotlight unicorn, but I’ve never seen this behavior people complain about. Spotlight has always been instant for me, since its introduction and I’ve never seen a regression. It is completely useless on network mounts, however, w

It’s possible but I’ve never used it as a daily driver. One thing that scares me is that Adobe apps are already buggy on their own officially supported platforms. If I encountered a glitch, I’d always have in the back of my mind “is it beca
