> I think the reason these types of discussions never die is because people in general tend towards closed mindedness. It's hard to put yourself in other people's shoes, and even harder to entertain the possibility that you're wrong.

I think the real reason is that people are used to GUIs who see the "harder tools" cannot entertain the possibility that they are wrong, and see the need to constantly make these hit posts to validate themselves. I have _never_ seen a vitriolic post made by a vim/emacs/tmux/etc. user telling users to switch over - I have seen countless by the "other side". I myself switched to terminal native workflows, not because of one of these posts but despite them, seeing how people who actually used these tools came off way more positive and seemed to enjoy their work way more than I saw from people who used e.g. VS Code and endlessly complained about anything not fitting into their worldview. It's exhausting and provokes no real discussion - nobody is actually being swayed by them, and it just adds fuel to the fire, letting people with opinions swing them around
