It doesn't matter what text editor you use

so i tried to articulate this point in a blog post a year ago: https://j0.lol/blog/productivity/. i feel like a failing of my writing on that blog is that i try to sort of write defensively. like “oh god what if an emacs defender comes in and hates me because i defend vim”.

it doesn’t matter what text editor you use. i switch text editor like once a week and it doesn’t matter. you can use any editor you want. you can use every editor if you want to. productivity is evil and computer science is a creative art.
