This is hilarious. Dotfiles have been around for decades, and now that all those hipster web devs are getting to use the console, now it's when all kinds of projects related to dotfiles are starting to appear. Come on guys.

Stop solving your problems? If you don't see any value in it move on.

I think worse is better here. This just sounds like another layer of abstraction and complexity i want to avoid dealing with as it will consume head space and detract from actually solving the problem i am there to solve. I tend to make do with defaults as well i.e basic vi and ksh as i move between BSD and Linux regularly (and rarely Solaris 2.5 still!). No surprises and very few dotfiles.
It is strange to forgo the improvements that customized dotfiles allow just because you don't want a system to manage those dotfiles.
That is my question.
Heres mine with a pretty basic bash script that creates symlinks. https://github.com/chucklarge/dotfiles

People are finding ways to solve problems that have existed for decades. I don't see how this is something coming from _hipster web devs_. > Come on guys. Stop solving your problems? If you don't see any value in it move on.
I rarely touch dotfiles yet I spend 10 hours a day in front of a Unix workstation.

Actually the problem is already solved. Some of us spend more time doing productive work than pissing around making our editors and shells and whatnot all pretty. I rarely touch dotfiles yet I spend 10 hours a day in front of a Unix workstation.
Some of us enjoy this and therefore tools that make it easier, better or more fun are always welcome.

Is another system an improvement? That is my question.
