The reasons us elders use VI is because on a new installation, it was the only thing available until:

1. You are lucky enough to find a compiled version of PINE/PICO, or

2. You have the compiler installed, and can get the source code and build it yourself.

For some reason, some elitists decided that if you don’t know that, then you are a failure. But honestly, when modern distros started coming out with WYSIWYG-type editors, it was a relief, even though I reverted to VI/VIM because of muscle-memory, I do not push it on new users. It’s the same argument people make for driving manual vs automatic, sure it’s useful, but when was the last time you even saw a manual car? (At least in North America).

You want to live dangerously, go ahead and put NetBSD with just the basics and leave the rest of us who want to do something useful alone.

You are all missing the point.

Trees are not a “problem”, but rather an untapped resource.

I mean look at them, millions, nah billions of them just sitting there, none of them are generating a penny for our billionaires.

Imagine what our glorious billionaires can do if we allow them to just chop down all those trees? Think of all the beautiful toiler paper for our collective asses, as well as the billion of bibles (including a copy of the constitution) that they can sell to us for the low low price of $65.

And as an added benefit, getting rid of all those trees will also eliminate the problem of forest fires. You can’t have those without forests in the first place.

To be sure, some forests will need to be left alone, specially those close to residential areas, but not for the reasons that you think.

We need those forests to actually burn down, hopefully taking down those houses next to them. Why? Think about it. If all those houses burn down then we can use those trees we chopped down elsewhere to build new houses, a BOOM for the construction billionaires. And also, it means that houses next to those forest that can accidentally burn down will have to have an increase in their insurance premium, we can even make it so that forests close to houses have a private company to fight forest fires, think of all the benefits for billionaires.

Once you start thinking money, it all makes sense
