I hope that I live long enough to one day master either vim or emacs. Until then Unix is my IDE, and mind you, Sublime my editor. But I could immediately relate to people being distracted by their tools rather than focusing on their code. That’s what I have observed a lot, it’s a distraction from what matters most. Even code itself could be a distraction from more essential code. That’s why I think, programmer should delete code constantly, until there is less code, or preferably no code.

Can feel you right there. I once bought a new computer just to bring compile time of Firefox core from 1h to 15m. To fix a bug which was on my nerves.

Looking at their epic and list of tickets, they look serious about it.

This is awesome.
