I liked it. It's nice to see a guy's thoughts on how he thinks computing should be. Especially if its someone like Rob Pike. (Better than the usual stream of Macbook-Pro-with-24"-Cinema-Display which is what everyone seems to be using)

Macbook Pro, vim, and git. Honestly, when there's a discussion of people's work setup on HN, that's kind of what I assume it's going to be.

Don't forget about those crazy people that use emacs instead of vim...

Also, don't forget about those even crazier people (e.g., myself) who prefer a more traditional vi (e.g., nvi) to vim.

Yup! Agreed.
