I find it odd how corporate greed is always the focal point. But its never consumer greed. The consumer is the one who dictate's a market. So cheap, low quality products are the direct result of consumers paying for a less expensive product. The consumer has proven it doesn't care about quality. So as much as corporations are greedy so are consumers.

Landing either way is not realistic. Even with no wind airports have a designated runway open. For example a straight North and South "runway" has runway 0 and runway 18, and only one will be open at any given time regardless of windspeed.

It's most certainly not "gone" the db entries are still there, they're just marked as deleted. They could recover it they just don't care to.

Same line edits can be done with search and replace and regex. And your article doesnt specify offsets, in which case you can use a plugin, which you state you already have to do that for sublime's flaws. There's so many other examples you couldve used.

Its weird because vim has multiple cursor mode as well

I get the sentiment and agree with it but vim has multiple cursors. I'm sure gingerbill is aware of this so to use that example is a little strange.
