Another hill I'm choosing to die on today: if you feel the need to hide your use of a tool, you shouldn't be using that tool.

If a tool has a "feature" where it can (try to) hide itself, to be undercover, that's a tool you should avoid.

Why? Because deep down, everyone involved knows the tool in question is unethical at best. Otherwise you - or the tool - wouldn't want to hide it.

A good tool is to be proud of. If you can't be proud of it, it's not a good tool.

@algernon you’re absolutely trying to start an editor debate aren’t you!

@elebertus ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR!

There is no need for a debate, the matter has been settled since about 1973.

@algernon I freaking GNU it!
