  • The difference is that each Windows upgrade is objectively worse.

    Also, even if it wasn’t, a large number of the people who use Windows don’t continue to do so because they really loved Windows, it’s because they’ve always used Windows and don’t want anything to ever change.

    So each EoL kicks their asses off their ledge and they have to make the biggest fuss about it, because that is just what using a computer is for them.

    It’s just a mentality thing, and not something they’ll readily put into words because it’s clearly futile and churlish.

    I’ve gotten into quite a lot of systemd-related flame wars so far, and what strikes me is that I haven’t heard a single reason why systemd is good and should be used in favor of openrc/sysvinit/whatever.

  • Vim makes it easy to edit text in complicated ways, once you’ve learned it.

    Vim is not easy to learn nor intuitive.

    It is simple and compounding.

    You might not ever edit enough text to ever need to learn a new skillset to edit text. If that’s the case, use nano.

    But if you do find yourself editing a lot of text, consider trying vimtutor.

    It takes 20 minutes and you’ll be proficient enough to match nano’s efficiency ceiling.
