1. Text-based programs are powerful, but most of their features are hidden.
2. Often you have to read manual pages to discover those features.
3. Frankly, no sane person would read manual if program works as expected on the first run. ;)
Dear developers, make your programs simpler. Fewer feature, more intuitive UX, smaller API footprint, don't rely on manual pages.
@romanzolotarev but... but... Emacs!?
@kensanata try vi instead ;)
@romanzolotarev @kensanata Alex uses Emacs for many beautiful things like email (or at least he posted a tutorial on how to do that), not only for text editing. He mastered it and I understand why he uses it 🤔
@romanzolotarev The complete opposite of systemd 😂
