People are finding ways to solve problems that have existed for decades. I don't see how this is something coming from _hipster web devs_.

Stop solving your problems? If you don't see any value in it move on.

Actually the problem is already solved. Some of us spend more time doing productive work than pissing around making our editors and shells and whatnot all pretty.

I rarely touch dotfiles yet I spend 10 hours a day in front of a Unix workstation.

Some of us enjoy this and therefore tools that make it easier, better or more fun are always welcome.

There are no new problems, just new engineers.
