When I was a teenager, I was sort of obsessed with learning all the keystrokes in Microsoft Office (and later OpenOffice). I got to a point where I rarely ever touched the mouse. Once I got to that point, I started getting increasingly annoyed that so much space was taken by UI elements that I never used.

It has eventually culminated with a rejection of GUIs entirely now; everything I do lives almost entirely in the command line with tmux and Neovim. I am reasonably happy with pandoc markdown for about ~85% of document tasks, XeLaTeX for the remainder. I use LSP for something approximating an IDE.

It’s not for everyone, but I really like how little superfluous crap is in my window now.
