I would suggest not looking at getting into blacksmithing, if you want to maintain this belief. > I don't imagine iron smiths had trouble with expensive anvils either. But some people aren’t doing this professionally and some people don’t notice the jank and that’s fine too – they aren’t shopping for anything better. I don’t think every tool needs to be free just because a price-sensitive part of the market exists, and I personally appreciate that there are, for what is a meaninglessly small amount of money for me, options in the market that invest in solving some of the jank that the free options bring with them. It requires an incredibly uncharitable reading to somehow get “students aren’t allowed to merge things” from anything I wrote. What? There are plenty of free options out there – that’s why they’re not likely to be in the market for a paid tool. > Are you suggesting students and other people earning much less than 7 figures aren't supposed to be using a basic dev tool? Unless you have a very specific meaning of "aren't in the market for a diff tool". (indeed, compared to almost any trade you can think of, we're lucky that our tools cost so little) Nor should he – the costs make him money, and that’s what’s important. My plumber brother-in-law certainly doesn’t refuse to spend tens of thousands of dollars on the equipment he uses for his job on the basis that this would be too expensive for someone working the counter at a fast food store.

Obviously $150 is a lot of money for a lot of people making a much lower income!… but those people likely aren’t in the market for a 3-way diff & merge tool, so I can’t imagine why you’d expect a discussion of this tool to have to add a disclaimer accounting for them? This is a professional tool whose costs exist relative to the income they create for the professional who wields them. I don’t know that it’s “hubris” to recognize that relative to the income this helps me create, its costs are a rounding error.

Ok, but I’m a software developer and this is a professional tool with which I do a job that makes me several hundred thousand dollars a year. It's already quite a sum at the median American salary and the USA is one of the most affluent countries from which HN readers hail. Or they realise the hubris you need to have to think 150$ to be a meaningless amount of money.
