He cited color theory. Isn't color theory made up of an arbitrary choice of three colors? Additionally the color spectrum is one dimensional because it's really just frequency of light.

Geometric symmetry on an arbitrary mapping of the actual one dimensional concept of color to a two dimensional plane doesn't really "improve" anything. If you like it, you like it because of your opinion, please don't cite any pseudo science to make your case.

Nice color theme, but $49 for three computers seems a bit high when comparing to what's available in the market.

That's the "intro price", the regular price is $79! I don't fault the dev for trying to make money on this, but I don't see this making much money, especially for editors like Vim.

And what's to stop someone from knocking this off? Can you copyright a color theme?

You'd be surpised, he's made $20k so far: https://twitter.com/zenorocha/status/1249348452095373312 I think there was a HN thread about it already

Why would I pay for a theme that has been free for over 5 years now? Bundling your free and open source tools and selling them seem like the most crooked way of building a business. I just don't get the point at all.

> Got laptop stolen, had to reconfigure everything. VSCode settings sync anyone? or pushing your .vimrc to a git repository? If you're a developer, you definitively know about a hundred different ways of backing up your settings.

> License for 3 computers Just WHAT? Is this an April fools?

Don't get me wrong, I love the theme and been using it for years but that's not the proper way of asking for financial support. I'd pay for a Patreon, or any kind of other financial support instead, before buying this kind of unreasonably expensive package.

When your color scheme costs as much as Sublime Text...maybe you should lay off whatever you're smoking.

it's insane when it cost more than a complete IDE (eg: Webstorm is $59 a year)
