Well, it's possible that you are confusing passion with emotion. It really takes a thick skin to go against the grain. The grain on HN is very pro-vim for some reason. And, yes, it blew my top to see an article now proposing to go farther and ignore "hjkl". How insane will this cult get?

If all I achieve is to virtually snap a newbie out of the trance created by HN dogma the result is good. It would be a tragedy to promote these tools for another thirty years.
