There haven't been any fundamentally new concepts in computing for decades

Yes and no. Your statement is true about under-the-hood stuff, but false about user interfaces. Your phone interface is not like Windows 95, still less like a green screen terminal talking to a mainframe.

LOL. Downvoted? I think most people browsing HackerNews will not be freaked out by minor UI changes 30 years from now. Even a 3 year old child can figure out how to use an iPad.

You say "even a three-year old" as if three-year olds aren't hyperspecialised learning machines.

I'm 34 and already sometimes freaked out by minor UI changes.

A lot of people spent their entire lives looking at a screen, performing some operations and little else. Above all people from the banking sector, where everything is organized in a hierarchical way. I remember bankers who only had one screen with a summary and that's all they saw before. Today everything has changed, as everything is done through computers, but if your father is an older person, he probably hardly ever used computers.

"Hateful" is such a corny overused word these days. Childish exaggeration.

It's not an exaggeration. Try reading through the article this person recommended for another interesting perspective on mothers and girls.

Exactly. This article is so ridiculous. Benchmarking "Hello world" performance? What a joke.

Carmack said that he was "the best developer I ever worked with"

Redis is widely used in production environments. The code quality matters.

That's how you judge source code quality? By measuring its popularity? And ignoring the actual code?

That's not what I said.

You can install IdeaVim in PyCharm. I've been using IdeaVim with IntelliJ for 6 years and could never go back to non-vim style editing. This plugin provides the best of both worlds.

Not to be unkind but have you tried actual Vim or adding any functionality to an ide?

Yes I have used plain Vim as a text editor for many years. It's a great text editor. I know it was also used for writing code back in the old days. For working on large modern JVM codebases, however, Vim is a toy in comparison to IDEA. Vim is for manipulating syntax. IDEA has advanced semantic features that will remain far outside of Vim's domain.

Not OP but I’ve been using ideaVim for many years now and I can say that it’s quite good. It even uses my main .vimrc file and handles most of the things very well.

It IS much better than when I tried it. It parses your vimrc with and matches simple patterns to support the subset of features it does support but it doesn't really have an interpreter although one was discussed

Which means no plugins for example or complex viml. Presumably this would simply be ignored not broken.

Another approach for a different environment that seems more interesting https://github.com/lunixbochs/ActualVim I don't use sublime so I can't report on how optimal it is the idea of using an embedded vim instance is certainly interesting.

You sound like you're on the autistic spectrum, struggling to understand basic human social interactions like some kind of hyper analytical artificial intelligence. The server was being helpful, not bossy. That was a great example of customer service going beyond reasonable expectations.

The OP could have said "no thanks" and continued with his original order. Simple as that. It seems that your social cognitive circuitry is overloaded by someone acting like an actual person instead of a simple robot.
