A long time ago I worked with someone who read 1 byte at a time from a socket because they insisted data was cached so the kernel was going to batch it magically somehow. It took me days to convince them to measure it.

I also used Terminal until recently and don't use any of the advanced features alternatives provide. The main reason to switch from Terminal.app is truecolor support. The terminfo thing is annoying but I just setenv TERM in ssh config. Better split panes is nice. Configuration in a text file is a matter of taste, but documentation is good.
Strongly disagree. It’s probably a generational thing but I listen to music in albums, not in popular hits. This was by far the main reason I used to use Rdio instead of Spotify.
I was clearly only responding to this part, which is still useful information. Nowhere I said there is no issue, there is no need to always nitpick on everything. I'll go back to not commenting on anything for another year.
I just tried creating a new vault and it created a .opvault. It became the default with version 6.1, released in Nov 2015 https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/OPI4#v6100...
Doesn't this describe all web browser development of the past 15 years?
I don't really believe this project will work, but your argument is rarely a good reason not to try something.

The customary way of saying that is “unwrapping optional arguments”.
I feel like you are missing the point of the GNU GPL.
I think that's just what we tell ourselves to feel better and for national pride. I started watching movies in English many years ago and, even when my English was not yet very good and I had to use subtitles, I preferred watching the original version, the real actor is just much better. Now, after living in the US for a few years, when I hear dubbed movies they sound just ridiculous: everyone speaks with the same flat intonation, there is no emotion in the words, it all sounds fake and, funny detail, I'm now much more aware that the voice is out of sync with the lips. It's both hilarious and painful to endure.
I also think emphasizing identifiers helps to see some of the structure of the code and makes it easier to notice if I misspell something.
Interestingly, that appears to not be the case for Japanese, quite the opposite in fact. There was a research a while ago about the speed of spoken language that I think can loosely be applied here (number of characters per syllable depends on which Japanese alphabet is being used). The research concluded that Japanese is very low density (and thus spoken very fast).
