The Art of Living Textually
March 27th, 2020
----------------------------------------

If I had to pick between using a terminal for the rest of my life or a GUI...
Well, I'd pick a GUI.  As a professional programmer, the best development
tools come with really good GUIs.  Whether it's Visual Studio, IntelliJ,
or any number of open source editors and tools, it's tough to beat a good
GUI.  This is especially true when dealing with code profiling or debugging.

Of course a lot of these same features can be done in Emacs or vi, but
it's still not quite the experience that you get from, say, IntelliJ.  That
being said, what I love about cracking open Emacs to hammer something out is
the relatively distraction-free experience of using a straight editor.
