I live in Emacs. It is a program specialized for typing, displaying and navigating text. If whatever I need to do does interaction via text and typing all else is just fluff. Pointing and clicking is just a digression from what I want and what I need to do.

I am not even an old fart. I am barely 30, but I feel completely backwards with regards to all developments in modern computer interaction. I hate smartphones. I hate the modern web. It all feels like one big distraction.

I'm 40 and feel the same way most of the time.

GUI's have their place, but damn is i3 + terminal super productive, no matter what the naysayers think.
