lol editor hipsters using a primitive screen editor designed for terminals without arrow keys in a time before we understood that modal user interfaces were bad

still perpetually surprised that none of them are trying to out-hipster each other by using actual vi instead of vim, by turning off syntax coloring to "remove distractions," or by using ed because "actually, the command line nature makes it more powerful"

the mark of good software design is when it's user base has to constantly tell beginners "you get used to it"
