I really appreciate your attitude. And I agree with you.

What a close-minded comment to be at the top of a HN thread.

A good starting point to explaining reducers is that you are reducing two things into one.

I find that Terminator solves this problem.

You can control it with the mouse and the keybindings are much closer in simplicity to iterm than tmux.
