All those wondrous IDEs were nowhere to be found 20 years ago, especially if you didn't run windows. While Emacs did it all and more.

So yes, you had to read the documentation. That's what we did back then. We still do it when someone can be arsed to write one.

We're not 20 years in the past, old man.

I know, back then people knew what files and directories were. Good times.

That knowledge is gone. Everything is a web app running JavaScript in a browser. We don't need to be encumbered by pesky things like pages and folders. 😋
