But we are programmers. I think there is a difference between expect John Accountant who doesn't trust his computer to set up RSync and a server, and a Programmer who is already going to spend a good chunk of their day in a terminal windiow anyways.

Dude I'm tired. Tired of having to learn some stupid new UI paradigm just because.

I really really wish there was ONE standard orthodoxy with regards to UI and how programs work and how we get around them.

Instead we have these clowns constantly inventing new ones. I love learning things and tweaking things but I have limited bandwidth and I am so over micromanaging my PC

For the record I know and love vi. But as I get older I find myself yearning more for the cathedral than the bazaar
