       cat displays files poorlyoh no. please don't go thereYou actually do want file names and line numbers and so on when you view a file, which cat doesn't supply.no please stop. PLEASEThe problem with cat is that its job is basically obsolete. It used to be that, if you had a program, and it produced a file, it always generated the whole file. So, if you had programs mkheader, mkbody, and mkfooter for generating a report, you had to do the equivalent ofmkheader  > headermkbody > bodymkfooter > footercat header body footer > reportTo get your report.jesus do you know what the hell a pipe is?So cat is probably obsolete:webscale: please leave the tech sector immediately

       @kirby Prebuilt dwm is indeed pretty useless: you press Meta/Alt+F to go one word forward in shell running in a terminal and it does some stupid shit instead — default bindings never work for me, using Super as modifier for most of its shortcuts is a must.Not sure how editing a file and doing "make install" sucks more than systemd though :marseyhmmm:

       @m0xEE i think the author of the blog post is just useless at computing tasks which require you to bang your head against the wall. either way dwm isn't going to cause that unless you don't know c, which most dwm users probably don't but even most of the non c programmer users can get it if they take more than 5 minutes to look at dwm
