Someone did something interesting to them and shared it with the world. That you feel is a waste of time does not add to the conversation and more broadly acts as a chilling effect on others who might want to share their interests.

When it comes to something like this, mom's advice is golden: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything."

It's a waste of time made necessary ONLY because of copyright law. As I explained.

As is THIS ENTIRE COMMENT THREAD.

And 10,000x other comment threads exactly like it, with you fools arguing back and forth for 300 pages about the subject.

What a complete waste of time and energy. Thanks, copyright law.

Nonsense. People reimplementing stuff to see if they can is unrelated to copyright. See the many implementations of vi.
