For a powerful and resilient LaTeX experience, having used many editors and IDEs, I really feel nothing comes close to a properly configured Emacs with the right packages installed (there are various blogposts and walkthroughs online for that).

I remember having a bit of fun playing things like Stunt Car Racer on MS-DOS back in the early 90s for a few days. Yeah, that's about it. That's the best I can do even when I'm trying to be charitable. As soon as I owned my first computer (late 90s) I bought a Linux magazine, installed a distro from a cover CD-ROM, and never looked back.
Very cool, thanks for finding that. I must admit that factlet (which turns out to be a factoid after all) always hovered in a grey-area part of my brain between "interesting enough to remember" and "urgent enough to actually research/verify" (hence why I wisely added the "not verified" parenthesis).
Although I think Patriot is such a loaded, dangerous word and would usually doubt there is ever an appropriate time for actual grown-ups to use it, I think I have found one use-case: it would be interesting to form a pan-European collective of actually sane, grown-up, people-before-money leaning Europeans (i.e. not the emotionally stunted, tribalism-fuelled morons obsessed with the accumulation of trinkets and perpetuation of endless persecution sprees in service of their hate/anger/stress-based adrenaline & cortisol addictions), and call that new collective "Actual Patriots for Actual Europe". Then just sit back with popcorn and watch the pompous outrage chain-reaction from the PfE kiddies unfold in realtime.
EDIT: This turns out to just be a folklore factoid after all, see the comment replying to this one
Forgive the tangential side-note: Although I get that "news" vs. "olds" was justified punning, I still want to mention what I think is interesting about the term "news", and seems to be in danger of being forgotten. I remember learning in school (pre-internet so I couldn't easily verify) that the origin of the word "news" was "North, East, West, South".
