Especially now with USB-C: you can get power, video, USB, memory card I/O, all in one little dongle.

Haven't had much luck with the USB-C based docks at work. Sometimes
video locks up, and have to open the laptop and see that it just hung on
the dock... sometimes power charging doesn't work and the laptop just dies.

At home, I have the charger directly a usb + hdmi through my kvm at my
desk, which does good enough. I'm using a single large monitor so it
works well enough for my use lately.

Yeah, that... religious war can be pretty rough sometimes. I also
prefer not to get myself involved in any zealotry when it comes to text editors. I always take the stance that: "I use what works for me!" and leave it at that.

Yeah. Surprisingly, there was never a similar debate on wysiwyg editors
in the html web days. I suppose those days didn't last long enough.

Yup, probably. Imagine some emacs and vim guys have been duking it out since the 80s, that's intergenerational warfare I tell you. Haha!

... Perhaps not so happy.

It's the crusades of the computer world. Just imagine if there was a competitor to the abacus.
