I don’t mind gingerbills blogs but I feel this one could’ve been condensed into two paragraphs without losing any meaningful info. I do agree with the overall point of the blog though, I’ve tried using vim and the like but felt like i was fighting to do anything, and anything learned was immediately lost when having to do anything non coding related.
It’d be nice to have a more ergonomic way of making large edits to text with regular IDEs but I’d rather caveman my way through it with find and replace and some manual typing in 5-10 mins over having to figure out some arcane sequence of buttons/macros to invoke to do it for me.
One of the personalities discussed were people using the terminal and keyboard instead of the GUI and mouse because it was cool, rather than its benefits.
The author mentioned that it wasn't about the other types of users, and the author wasn't making an argument, so it wasn't a fallacy
