@beau29 said:It seems to me that your experience more closely matches my own than that of tster. That 20-30 second delay when you attempt first edit, for example, seems like exactly the sort of thing I complained about. To me, this does not seem like acceptable behavior from a program which (at the point-in-time we're discussing) I am only asking to do basic text editing. To me, your statements seem brazenly contradictory, in a way that wouldn't pass muster in a more objective forum. Unfortunately, this kind of flawed reasoning seems to thrive at Daily WTF. I think the reason is that site has become a collection of very like-minded individuals. In particular, it has become "ground zero" for a species of big business apologist which is otherwise ill-at-ease in the creative, somewhat academic field of software development.There are many otherwise intelligent programmers who lack the intellectual polish to cut it socially with the granola-munching, mountain-biking crowd that dominates the upper echelon of the computing field. These people come here and spout simplistic right-wing, pro-Microsoft arguments whose truth they consider obvious. Because their proto-capitalist morals are considered self-evident (the primacy of the market, the immaturity of anyone who questions Microsoft, etc.) , no one here really bother constructing really convincing arguments around them. So, we get statements like yours (paraphrasing):"Gosh, I dunno, that sounds like crazy commie talk to me. Say, I always thought Visual Studio was plenty fast! Course, it takes dang near a minute to open up a simple text file and add a one-line comment, but jiminy! It's not like there's anything better out there!"I take comfort in knowing that none of these views is taken seriously outside of Microsoft's marketing material or (perhaps) a meeting of the John Birch society. My God, that is a brilliant troll. Bravo, sir! Bravo!
