I use Vim on the command line for pretty much everything but would be nice to have a GUI based text editor. For the few times I actually open a filemanager and want to view some text file.
So did this:
run pacman -S kate
and was rewarded with this:
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Notice the 'n' there. No way I install all that shit for just a somewhat nice GUI text editor. Gedit was much better with like 9 dependencies but at this point I was like: fuck it!
So I guess I wont have a somewhat nice GUI editor in the end!
Software bloat is real folks?
