But again, even if this is a great option for you, it might be a really bad
option for some other people. Everybody does not have the time to spend
learning emacs, or other specific tool. It's ok if the workflow suggests that
but it's not great if we have no other alternative.

It's not accessible and imposes a barrier in some people.
