minimalism isn't the same as simplicity though.
And I'd like to use simple software rather than minimal software.

If I used it, it wouldn't be bloat, now would it?

normies use bloat because nonbloat looks like dwarf fortress and is about as user friendly

I wonder who first had the idea that complex tools with many functions shouldn't need explanation and how rich they are now.
>>59841302
It is in some ways, but not in the ways it is often taken to mean. WordPerfect 5.1 is a "minimal" piece of software but it's far from featureless.

WordPerfect is bloat, use troff.
>>59846517
If you can explain to an office drone how to use troff then be my guest.

Office drones used to be able to fucking program postscript printers.

it's not that much harder than gui office suites. they're just different
>>59840986
Why? It's not like diskspace is expensive.

This. The "UNIX Way" is a meme that needs to die.

No, but plain text files are far more stable than binary document files, and age better as well.
>>59846517
Groff can make some pretty cool text files. IIRC that's what they used to format the text files in FidoNews.
>>59848227
plain text is binary inside...
