pratclot | 1 year ago | on: Tmux is worse-is-better

Exactly, this comparison seems like an insult to tmux. I tried i3 because of all the hype (and lack of sensible arguments to use it), and in an hour realized that it forces me to manage things I did not need to even think about on a normal system. Also, it did not improve my productivity, it slowed me down trying to figure out how to manage my windows.

Tmux is great because its features work out of the box without a need to customize anything, this is a common trait of a useful and popular software (bash, ssh, coreutils, curl). i3 is not even close to this.

Exactly this! Yet the overwhelming majority of the comments takes it for a real story and jumps to share their experiences. I wonder if it was generated by an AI that just does not have an ability to cross check what it wrote.

Nice tool! I saw there an attempt to create a structured piece (https://sonauto.ai/songs/V8Lg2q50OOFl0FYbbdTu) and it seems like nobody is aware of that functionality. I suppose an average person (that only came to visit out of curiosity, lacking any knowledge of the underlying tech, like me) would become more "productive" if the project edit screen gave hints like that.

I really like this comment, chess sucks.

Ehm, their docs are an example of a case when stackoverflow answers provide better docs than the official pages. To put it politely.
