How do you know that your humble opinion is right about who knows what tool and how deep?

Even if you know better than themselves how musch they know, isn't the tool inadequate just yet for power use then when it is sooo easy to misuse?

Too much tweeking and adapting users to the needs of the tool (vs. the other way around) and there is little point using those (which is a bit of the sickness of modern day computing: 'with computers you can solve problems lightning fast that you wouldn't have without them')

Would you agree with the claim that emacs/vim is an inadequate tool, since it has such a high learning curve?

Prior to LLMs, my impression was "high learning curve, high results" was a pretty popular sweet-spot with a large portion of the tech crowd. It seems weird how much LLMs seem to be an exception to this.

Emacs and vim have complex interfaces that have been stable for decades. Seems like every new flavor of LLM requires learning its warts and blind spots from scratch.
