Paul Graham has a screen smaller then mine and uses two software I didn't know existed which I will now check out, that's everything vaguely "interesting" I found in this.
Thank you for commenting on this article.
One common thing in all usesthis.com interviews is, no one uses Windows OS as their main operating system and Mac is used most. Only person I found using Windows is Mitch Altman so far.

That said, i'm getting tired of my T500 already. I don't see myself really needing expresscard as much as I was bent on it.
Overall, I've learned that ergonomics matters at the end of the day no matter what machine you use - meaning I care less about laptop screen size and more about bang for the battery life. I can't convince myself to buy a desktop either, so I'm considering getting a 13-14 inch laptop with the fastest processor, ssd, and gobs of ram instead.

In the Unix culture the people who claim to use vi actually use vi + shell + hundreds of little software tools. If it have worked for 30 years perhaps you should give it a try.

Pretty standard setup he uses. The most informative usesthis I've seen is with Marco Arment: http://marco.arment.usesthis.com/
When I got done reading the "What hardware are you using?" section I laughed at the heading of the "What would be your dream setup?" section.

I don't understand. Am I not supposed to say that I found this article pointless and everyone is upvoting it just because it has "Paul Graham" in the title? Sometimes HN really surprises me.
Then again, I didn't downvote you, so...
