I know I don't want, nor do I want anyone else, touching my Mac screen. Steve Jobs quote notwithstanding. They are pretty good at getting dirty on their own.

“Code” is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I don’t usually read 500 page books but this one flew. Even if you know most of what’s being discussed it’s such a delightful ride.

Depends on where you’re coming from.

If you have a decades old .vimrc like I do, that meant a few conditionals to load niceties such as LSP when running on nvim. I got that mostly working but there are still a few things missing.

If you’re starting from scratch, that’s much easier.

Yes, I use fugitive everyday and it’s a very clever plugin. But when I see magit I know what I’m missing.

I need to move to Neovim. Thanks for the nudge.

Yeah, but it's not as convenient.

Magit is one of the few things that makes me, as a Vim user, envy Emacs. And org-mode, since I'm being honest.

You don’t need to care, but for the ones who do, Apple was one of the few vendors one could identify with. Attention to detail and craftsmanship was their motto.

Photopea is a really impressive project, don't mean to diminish it in the slightest, but it's a toy next to Photoshop.

> exceeds CS6

I wish. It's not even on par with Photoshop 4. No LAB mode, handles only 4 profiles. I could be here all day listing missing features. Also, have you tried to open a 6GB PSB file with it?

I've used Photoshop almost daily since 1994. I really wish there was an open source competitor. There isn't.

> Breaking free is easier than ever. You don't need walled gardens.

There’s nothing that comes even close to Photoshop. Same for a lot of similar professional tools.

> AI is making handling the edge cases that kept people locked in almost trivial

Not for anything remotely complex. Let’s see how that looks in 5 years, but I’m skeptical.

I don't know Apple's endgame for the Fn/Globe key–or if Apple does
