Cool, so whats the point here? These are not screenshots from developers. These are screenshots from a minimal possible subset that prove some contrived point. Nobody who wants to develop software productively would show you screenshots like this. Just because you can develop software successfully like this, doesn't mean its a good approach. The tooling has developed insanely since 2002, it's not even a competition. The dev tools in 2015 just are mind blowing compared to 2002. People who are not using them may still be able to code but it really doesn't prove anything.

Well it's right in the single paragraph written by the author:

People might be interested.

I certainly am, I remembered this from the last time, and am just as fascinated now.

Seeing how people I look up to, who has created tools I use, work themselves is really interesting and could certainly be educational.

Nobody is trying to "prove" anything?

Browser, emacs with lots of terminals is pretty much it for me.

What am I missing?

Vim
hilarious
