I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

      I’ll level with you: I’m kind of a moron.

      If my command line text editor has its own bespoke integrated command line, then science has gone too far and we need to stop lmao

      I'm struggling to see the connection here. I guess I don't need to fiddle with the mechanical pencil, it breaks very quickly? I don't want to go through changing those little sticks? Graphite pencil only needs to be sharpened? So, you're supporting using Nano? I'm a little confused

        Yet many people prefer mechanical pencils. Are you against choice? What is there to get or "need"?

          Nah, this is not relative at all. Still, I know my kid hates mechanical pencils. I hate them, too.

                Fair enough! I'm an English second language speaker too, I understand the struggle!

                But to answer about relevance: to me, text editors are just tools. I don't really care which one you use, as long as you do the job well. I use vim (or honestly, mostly vim bindings) everywhere I can as they're just second nature to me at this point, and I go around text much quicker when thinking in text objects than the typical Ctrl+Alt+… and home/end/pg up/pg down shortcuts. I could just as well work with Notepad++, it's just gonna slow me down.

                So in that sense, it's just like a pencil. Some have preferences as to which pencils they like to write with. I like fountain pens and mechanical pencils. You seem to prefer graphite pencils, and guess you probably prefer ball pens ;)
