 @e311955b @be3304e1 @59f08b34 oh man, what a classic! How has that been 12 years. God. 
 @e2d8748d @e311955b @be3304e1 I’d forgotten I ever wrote that. It was fun to read again! 
 @59f08b34 @e311955b @be3304e1 it was a truly perfect device to use, since we do treat our editors as our significant others. I hadn’t remembered this at all and I was calling TextMate my first love earlier! The analogy works! 
 @e2d8748d @59f08b34 @e311955b I still remember the day I first used TextMate. It was so transformational, I bought it within 30 minutes of use despite the (I think) 30-day trial period. It was love at first sight. 
 @be3304e1 @59f08b34 @e311955b truly! I had very little proper text editor experience until I used it (we're really milking this dating analogy lol but yes), but damn. It just made my 19 year old heart sing. Genuinely the app I’ve loved the most deeply.
