- From the keyboard of friedman@gnu.ai.mit.edu (Noah Friedman):
- :> And zsh has even more features! Ruf! Ruf!
- :
- : Ah yes, features. What would we do without them? Probably get more
- :work done, instead of endlessly tweaking our environments to no useful end.
- :
- : I probably have the most complicated initialization scripts that anyone
- :has ever devised (if you don't believe me, email me and we can arrange to
- :compare). One of these days, when I come to my senses, I'll switch to rc
- :and use it vanilla.
- :
- : Features? You need features like you need poison ivy.
-
- Listen to this man.
-
- Now, I don't want to have an utterly impoverished environment, but
- to a nonzero extent, having more choices can just bog you down. A
- friend of mine calls this stuff "fritterware", because you waste all
- of your time frittering with it.
