From the keyboard of friedman@gnu.ai.mit.edu (Noah Friedman):
:> And zsh has even more features! Ruf! Ruf!
:
: Ah yes, features. What would we do without them? Probably get more
:work done, instead of endlessly tweaking our environments to no useful end.
:
: I probably have the most complicated initialization scripts that anyone
:has ever devised (if you don't believe me, email me and we can arrange to
:compare). One of these days, when I come to my senses, I'll switch to rc
:and use it vanilla.
:
: Features? You need features like you need poison ivy.
Listen to this man.
Now, I don't want to have an utterly impoverished environment, but
to a nonzero extent, having more choices can just bog you down. A
friend of mine calls this stuff "fritterware", because you waste all
of your time frittering with it.
