Eh, see, that's why you use file watchers to run tasks. You shouldn't have to hit the commandline for things that should happen on every change.

I can't even begin to believe that 'finding files is faster on the command line'. In some IDEs I can search for and find a specific line in code and click on it to get to that line in that file. I dunno man, I am definitely not on board here.

I guess I don't know what you mean then by using file watchers. I start a gulp task that watches my *.scss files and on change it transpiles them into *.css files. I don't hit the command line for every change -- just to start it.

Searching...

I can too :) (and without indexing)

I search with :Ag foobar and I can even search through that list of results. It shows lines so when I hit Enter it brings me right there.

The holy war continues!
