# Software considered harmful
In the sidebar on the left, you can find why i consider some points of
the software bad.
the software bad.
I did not fall for the minimalism meme, but sometimes Minimalistic
software less bad than non minimalistic software. Sometimes a
"bloated" program is way better than non bloated ones, for example,
Emacs vs Vim. Or Firefox vs Surf.
Here you can find a table (Consider this as a TODO) I am not including
GNU utilities because, altough they don't follow standards, their
extensions are kinda useful. So I don't consider them harmful.
