Am I the only one who almost didn't scroll down, thinking that the keyboard graphic was the thing to see?
No. It's a terrible webpage design. Am I the only one who still values things like http://www.useit.com/alertbox/scrolling-attention.html ?
(Go on a windows box, see how authentic the busy cursor looks!)
Am I the only one that found staring at orange hard on the eyes? I guess I should give the author credit for all the work that they put into this rant, seems like a blog post could have done just the same without all the fancy graphics and what not.

It's almost like programmers write programs to help them get work done! And I thought you were supposed to solve problems by making a big orange web page whining about them...
You mean like what the author did? "This article started with pain, developed into an idea, and ended up as an unexpected prototype implemented in MacRuby. I’m using it daily and am fine-tuning the interaction, visuals, features, and performance."

Everyone wants to be Dustin Curtis. Still, the author calling HN posters Neanderthals was a nice touch.

I wish I could say yes. I found the color scheme interesting and a nice refreshing change from "Everyone's Posterous." But I guess there are people who will complain about anything that is different. The slight irony of posting a complaint against orange while you were surely looking at a band of electric orange is not lost on me. (At least, I assume you're with orange. Has pg lifted the karma restriction from the cu…

There is quite the difference between a little bar of orange and a whole screenful of it.

I doubleclick text and blank areas constantly I realize this probably drives people insane, but while I'm reading a paragraph I will keep doubleclicking to select and deselect the text over and over. Somehow it helps my concentration.. I do this with code as well. That's why I have bookmarklets to disable the dictionary lookups and other what I consider annoyances on sites that implement those features on doubleclick…
I do this as well. I do it so, when my attention gets diverted, I can quickly start from where I left off since it'll be highlighted. The obsessive clicking is because I'm obsessive.
Typical designer. "Oh no, my text editor displays its status to me using text." Yeah. Some people get their eye-candy feed from lolcat videos, and then use their tools for work. (My desktop doesn't even have wobbly windows! Just a 1-px red border! How can I get any work done that way!) Also, I'm fairly certain that eproject gets rid of the "wall of text" that disqualifies Emacs. In a perl project, for example, I can…
I wrote a snappy Ruby-based Vim plugin called LustyExplorer which does fuzzy/flex matching for opening files and switching buffers: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1890
Not to downplay your contributions (thank you), but just letting people know about other options: FuzzyFinder Textmate http://github.com/jamis/fuzzyfinder_textmate (Unfortunately only works with fuzzyfinder up until v2.16) and more recently Command-T http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3025
i recorded a quick screencast: http://pipsq.com/s.mov
note that i'm matching against the linux source; searching smaller source trees should be a lot faster.
you can try it out by downloading the following files:

launch with :Pyxis or create a map:
