I once visited Gerry Sussman in his office, he was very busy preparing for a class and I was surprised to see that he was preparing his slides on oldschool overhead projector transparencies. “It’s because I hate computers” he said, and complained about how he could design a computer from top to bottom and all its operating system components but found any program that wasn’t emacs or a terminal frustrating and difficult and unintuitive to use (picking up and dropping his mouse to dramatic effect).
