Casey Muratori, while a great programmer in his own right, often disregards the use cases, which leads to apple-to-orange comparisons. E.g., why is this ASCII editor from 40 years ago much faster than this Unicode (with full ZWC joining emoji suite) text editor?

Are you alluding to the microsoft terminal fiasco? It was the other way around: his terminal supported more text features.
