Why click and drag files when you can mv *.png

Why use an IDE when you can setup vim (or space vim on neo vim) to load all the plugins your IDE would need, but only for the particular tasks that would leverage all those plugins (saving you overhead when you're not leveraging those plugins)

Why use word when you can use pdflatex to turn your .tex files into .PDFs, with vim setup to trigger pdflatex on every post buffer write event, while zathura renders the PDF automatically

Why manually start your code, when you can set it up to trigger automatically at start up or in response to other events
