If you append to the bottom of a 50-thousand line file, won't scrolling to the bottom be tedious? Or is he prepending new days to the top of the file?


It's just one press of the G key in Vim, or Alt > in Emacs. Even nano has Alt / to jump to the end of a file.

I find those preferable to reading things in reverse order, but Vim opens up at the last location anyway so it's usually just there.


Like most people I think, I prefer to prepend and add to the top of the txt file they are working on.
