You knock the gluten avoiders and follow that up by saying you became healthy by staying to the periphery of the grocery store where the fruits/veggies/meats/dairy are (and not the grains/gluten)... I think you just contradicted yourself en

Let's take your theory and run with it, say that Derek was 100% lucky, that he's a hack, a fraud, just a product of some lucky circumstances, even so-- how on earth can you bemoan his simple message of encouragement? The message is literall

I wonder what the complexity of a plugin would be that watches you use vim and tells if you're doing an anti-pattern? My only gripe with vim is that the discoverability of features is god awful because :help is so overwhelming.
