I tried Micro on for size for a few months earlier this year. I like it a lot, but stopped using it over time. Any time I reach for a text editor I kind of muscle memory open vim if it's something quick or VS code if it's a larger

I'm unsure what you mean by this. Android is based on Linux. The web runs on Linux. Hell, the thermostat in your house probably runs Linux. I've been using Linux on my laptop I do all my professional work on for many years. I&#x27

The author went so far as to create a domain for this rant, and yet didn't even do any performance metrics or basic forensic analysis at all. I'm not saying the author is wrong, but there's a lot of questions here. How does K
