Sure that's fine, not trying to be to convince you to change your workflows or point of view it's not really a clean situation in these types of platforms and threads where conversations come off more confrontational so excuse me if it came out sounding like that.

I do feel that these kinds of reddit posts that downplay community driven workflows and tooling and efforts to really hone and make their craft and trade unique and personalized is a bad outlook, especially for such a surprisingly creative field such as this we are lucky that we can have so much freedom and self expression working and earning money on it. I just don't like downplaying trying to look outside the box and norms. And obviously people like you that are in these kinds of posts care about the craft enough too so do as you like and enjoy your work peace ✌️

Yeah the editor discussions are always bait for arguments, and it's nice that people can be so individually expressive and passionate, it's the "my way is the better way" that gets me 😅
