And next time we have a poll, people will complain about the lack of NONE, because they feel the lack of a standard mathmatical concept disturbing.

DItto. I alias tar to bsdtar these days, ever since the Manpage Revelations. If I can't man it, and there's a drop-in replacement that I can man, then it can geeeeeet out.

I understand why people think this, but if that's the case, then I would recommend using something other than Arch. This is not to be offensive or unkind. Rather, it is because Arch expects you to be able to maintain your own system. If you do not understand the tools needed to do this, then should you ever run into a stability issue, you may find yourself in a serious spot of trouble without the knowledge to fix it.

That can happen to you on any platform. it would be really hard to keep track of all the tools that I use. Roughly my system should be comprised of a few hundred pieces of software. Logically anyone of those software could end up messing your system. It would require several hours to read about them and maintain those software personally. There are always trade-offs in life. One of those involves trusting Arch Linux packagers and community.

It breaks without fail everytime there'a a major pacman upgrade. There's no harm in using it but one should know what to do when it doesn't work.



Edit: Took the survey. I made a mistake and didn't select all the monitors I use. hmm Oh well. Also, can't believe there was nothing for teminal multiplexers. Tmux represent!

I am using the yaourt-package too, but only because of pacdiffviewer. It's such a comfortable way to find and merge/edit/delete new config files, I don't want to miss it! :-)

Re: Survey: Vote for the most popular apps of 2013-2014

Calling an AUR package a yaourt-package on the Arch bbs is like using only male neutral forms in written publications on most German unis.

How is it different from e.g. pacdiff?

Ah, so it's more or less the same ;P



I don't want to drag the thread OT, but I did install yaourt before asking here and tried pacdiffviewer out, but I didn't see anything special about it.

Re: Survey: Vote for the most popular apps of 2013-2014

Well, registering here was a bit of journey. Anyway, I have recently started actively using github and watching repositories, so my email get messed up and I've decided to switch from "None" to "some-gmail-client". As I use such programs like canto-curses for rrs, irssi + bitlbee for irc and twitter and etc, I'd like to find some really useful and fast terminal-based email client to work with gmail. Currently I'm interested in sup client as I have found some interesting articles across the web about sap+arch=minimalistic and useful. Any suggestions?

@ewancoder

Have you already looked at mutt?

I hear many people talking passionately about it. I use Thunderbird myself but also Geary sounds very promising. However, both are no terminal clients.

Well, I have not looked at anything yet smile so now I'm going to look at mutt. And a pair words about thunderbird: WHY do so much people use it? It's just standard and gnome and wide and big and other non-archway stuff including rss+twitter+allother features.. anyway, what do you guys think about Vmail? smile
