I honestly don't mean to insult you but when you say things like this in a discussion where others obviously disagree with you, it makes you seem like either an overly enthusiastic beginner that hasn't learnt about tradeoffs yet, or a very stupid fanatic. You might be neither, but that is how it comes across.

I and many others simply disagree with you. I have used those tools. They work okay in simple cases but break down in more complex ones. That is my opinion.

You seem like a stupid idiot too. I don’t mean to insult you either, honest this is just how you come across to me as well.

I would say very very few people would disagree with me. I would even argue that your experience is in fact limited. You probably worked with a trashy gui and likely didn’t use it too much.

I regularly use jetbrains to merge the most massive conflicts. There is no use case that is too complex for it to handle. The fact that you even said these guis can’t handle complex use cases indicates an extreme lack of experience in this area.

I am sure you indeed do successfully use JetBrains to merge "the most massive conflicts". Good on you. I'm glad it works for you.

The mere fact you've even typed out the words "Anyone who has experience regularly(keyword) using both CLI and GUI for merge conflicts will side with me on this" makes you look like a child. This is how children speak.

>You probably worked with a trashy gui and likely didn’t use it too much.

You don't seem to be able to encounter someone that disagrees with you without immediately assuming they must be doing something wrong, lack experience, or be stupid.

Again, how hard is it to accept that people have different preferences? You are like those people on forums in the 2000s that argued that anyone that liked Ruby/Python was an idiot and obviously Python/Ruby was the far superior language. Anyone that disagreed obviously had never used Python/Ruby properly, and was obviously just a fanatic. I thought we moved past that stupid shit years ago.

Yes. Not stupid though. More lack of experience. That’s my opinion about it and in my opinion the gui is better and that is a fact.

What I don’t understand is why my opinion about something as a fact no matter how extreme leads to you openly calling me a stupid fanatic and calling me a child?

I said you come off as stupider earlier with the additional statement of “not to be insulting”. I also said it to sort of illustrate to you and imitate you on what happens when you call someone stupid and then say the words “I don’t mean to be insulting” as if that negates what is in actuality an insult. It doesn’t and now you’ve openly called me a child. This ends here. Good day.
