        I regularly fix my bashrc file with Notepad. I run it in Wine because I cbf to RealVNC from my Windows CE media server.

        (n.b: None of this is real, I wrote it to upset people, I’m sorry)

          Well let me upset you.

          Ive been helping my coworker on a call and he was sharing his screen. I told him to edit a file (add a line) on a linux box we develop and he copied the file to his windows host with winscp, edited it in notepad and copied it back. I fantasize about killing him ever since.

            That’s crazy! At my job, I just help our users. I don’t have to build (and then maintain) infrastructure with them.

            They need to learn how to use their tools better. Winscp does all that transparently for you if you press F4 on a file on a remote system. Or maybe they did and you just didn’t see it…

            It’s quite a handy function when you’re diving through endless layers of directories on a remote box looking for one config file amongst many.
