I choose not to use vim, emacs, irssi (except rarely) and other terminal based apps.

The reason I do this is because I am of the opinion that technology needs to be accessible. Visual Studio Code works and it's approachable for a new comer.

I do use bash, tmux, and mosh because there isn't really anything better.

But I feel that vim, weechat/irssi and mutt promote an asthetic of computers as magical black boxes only understood by wizards. That's an exclusionary asthetic.
