        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.

            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.
