> I personally find them easy to ready anyway, with tools like delta[1] which make things super nice to read. Also if you use a text editor such as neovim you can integrate these things into your editor and get beautiful diffs right there.

All I can see here is “if I use two extra tools, I can almost have as good an experience as vscode (or IntelliJ or whatever) gives me out of the box”.

You mean adding a few lines to a config file once and never think about it again? Some people don’t want to have to deal with why they see as a load of bloated ‘features’, preferring instead to just focus on the task at hand, and that’s okay.

The article is as misguided as the snarky pushback. Let people work however they’re most comfortable and productive, why does it have to be a purity contest?

Don’t forget installing _and discovering_ those tools.

Absolutely agree on it not being a purity contest. The article deserves pushback _because_ it’s arguing for purity
