Just for comparison, I've had a couple crashes in about a year of daily use. Definitely less than IntelliJ or Chrome has crashed, but more than vim.



That's really unfair comparison. IntelliJ and Chrome are more complex piece of software.


With many more people working on them and paid to do so.


That's just absurd.

An IDE or a browser have a huge number of failure points.

Just starting up initiates large numbers of complex operations, file I/O, processing, database, graphics, platform specific operations, what not. They are in a way OS of their own.

Comparing a CLI application, that's scope is tiny compared to a full-blown IDE or a browser, is absurd!
