But couldn't things always be harder? What's the difference between rejecting a free meal in favor of buying your own, vs. rejecting a meal that costs you $5 when you could pay $10? Or rejecting a $10 for a $100? Some might say

Here's the setup I like to use. A little complicated for some but I really like it: * Window manager: emacs * File manager: emacs * Documents/Presentation: emacs + latex mode * PDF viewer: emacs

It seems like we both agree that length implies complexity which was all I was trying to say, so we're on the same page.

Your comment about television isn't in the same category; tv and Netflix et al are content delivery mechanisms whereas this article is talking about the content itself, not delivery.

This sounds like "Maybe most of us would prefer to just think 100 tiny thoughts, feel 100 tiny emotions rather than one large thought, one complex emotion", and I think you're probably right, which is probably sad. After all,

In my view this author falls into the camp of people calling C++ a mess because it gives them too much control when they ask for it. One of his examples which he calls "The Abyss": #include <iostream> struct A {
