I've about had it with the vim and emacs fanboys, davidw. I think maybe I've flagged five articles in the three years I've been here.
But some of us (ahem), are much quicker to flag than others!
I'm always for mixing up the topics to get things a little more interesting. Do homeless people prefer emacs, vim, or ed? Is Apple using the iPhone to keep Latino kids from attending school? I don't know -- anything but the same fifteen types of stories over and over again.
This article has brought out all of the hang-wringing and self-hate that I can put up with for a while. I like realistic depictions of problems and solutions a lot more than I do talking about how miserable everything is. It's truly brought out the pessimist in most all of the commenters. Davidw is right -- time to flag.
