Sounds like they read HN:
Vim colleagues insist I could just write macros, yeah no.
If I go through the trouble of building something it is because I really need it for me in the first place (and it does not already exist).

(I only tried it shortly many months ago before running into some issues, it probably works better now)
How is that even "cheating"?
Are the readable replicas supposed to be long-lived (as in, I don't know, hours)? Or does consul happily converge even with ephemeral instances coming and going every few minutes (thinking of something like Cloud Run and the like, not sure if Fly works the same way)? And do they need to make a copy of the entire DB when they "boot" or do they stream pages in on demand?
For example, even the creator of SuperMemo seems a fairly average person and not the polymath/hyperpolyglot one might have expected him to be (or at least I could not find any indication of that).
Likewise, what has David Allen actually done beyond writing the same book half a dozen times?
As far as I can see this stuff mostly exists to fill a need for structure, but it does NOT make one exceptionally productive (also accounting for the time that needs to be invested in the tools and techniques themselves).
