Good post.

There’s a flip side to this. Be honest with yourself and others that you picked a tool because it’s popular, not because there was any serious matching of use-case and features.

As years go by, some prefer more friction in their tools: no syntax highlighting, missing drivers, and inconvenient setups. They hope the upside is increased focus, less abstraction, and a return to basics: first principles, bare-metal contrivance, and cheap hardware.

Sometimes the friction is so high, nothing but living gets done. Time passes quickly, and time to first keypress is measured in days.
