Do you really think choosing between vim, emacs, textmate, sublime, etc is going to make such a big difference in the end result?

What's wrong with text files + text editor + dropbox?

I'm tired of seeing all these "distraction free" writing tools. People have been writing using MS Word for years without any problem.

Don't try to find excuses for laziness by blaming the "writing tools", and just get to your writing.

All you really need is a text editor, most of them are already much better than you'd need them to be.

Hello, I have a question, what made you want to start this project? What do you not like about main branch vim?

tl;dr

yet another (scripting) language? nice.

I have a feeling people tend to over estimate the importance of language choice. Might be just me though.

...* after reading some of the comments here *...

I think we would be better off caring a little bit less about what language to use and a little bit more about what programs to write.

Price control (not just rent control) causes similar effects in all industries.

I don't understand how people would want to invest in this. But that's just me.

I don't think watching someone "code" (God, I hate this word) is going to teach you much.

It might teach you about what tools he uses, and what keyboard shortcuts he likes, but not about the more important tasks of understanding problems, and organising solutions. That's what makes writing software hard, not the "coding" part.

Yeah I know. I'm weird like that.

I'm constantly looking for things I can improve, and running out of free time to do that.

I don't find it makes me insecure in social situations though.

Don't worry about what others might think of you. But do worry about what you think about yourself. Aside from the facts that you mentioned what do you think about yourself right now? Are you happy with your body? are you happy with your career? are you happy with your hobbies? Do you eat well? Do you exercise regularly? Do you take care of yourself well? ...

Bottom line: Be someone YOU respect and like. The rest will take care of itself.

If you don't like yourself, nobody else will.

I see a lot of hate, but I can't see the arguments.

The article fails to explain why it worked.
