Yeah, they invented typesetting in China long before Europe, but they had to prepare characters for each run because of amount of possible characters, the letters were pottery, and it didn't seem like very useful thing so it was abandoned after the inventor's death.

At least that's what I heard, it might be a retcon for PR purposes

    It used to be leagues better than the default on windows, having plugins, hex-view for binary files, actual history instead of one undo, ability to open big files without much trouble, formatting and syntax highlight. At least, those were the reasons I used it, nowadays I still install it and set as default, but don't use that much. And I moved to Linux anyway

    You're kinda both right and wrong, it is a narcissistic card to play, but it also is a real condition often inflicted by parents and/or environment. I'd say you're more in the wrong, because this is more likely to not be a conscious choice.
