I have been in many occasion troubled by the fact that Delete icon, or The word delete doesn't mean delete something. Rather it means move to trash. For example in Gmail that is the case. I was trying to help someone about their Gmail account not having much space, I saw Gmail was taking up like 14+ GB of space, so I told him to delete mails from Inbox. My bad I didn't realize that delete isn't delete, and they have to clear up Trash.

Friends would ask their computer doesn't have storage, yet they barely have something on it.

I wonder, on how may occasions people found themselves in trouble because the Delete button/icon isn't "deleting" things?

And related matters?

I have been for the past few years looking for a perfect editor I can live with. Learned Vim, but can't edit Indian languages with it because of being in a terminal. Tried to use emacs, but everytime I install it I find it buggy in most basic things like undoing changes. Tried vscode, but my old laptop is not much equipped for it.

Once watched Russ Cox's screen cast on Acme, I kinda liked it.

I actually don't know exactly what are the things I wish to have in a text editor or program editor. I wish someone knew what I wanted and there were an editor where I could feel home.

I feel sad, one of the primary tool of programmers is in this shape. I'm not sure if it's just me feel this way.

I am looking for a better place, please send help.
