That's true.

OK.  You're a CLI person anyway, right? :P

OK, yeah, that's probably a bad idea.  Best to have an editor that
runs in its own window rather than a terminal.

I wrote it on a whim, thinking "Meh, I'll never use this... it'll just
be for newbies to learn Remind syntax" but it's my daily driver now.  I
still occasionally hand-write reminders, but 99% of the time I either
use TkRemind or Google Calendar (on my phone) which gets sync'd into my
.reminders/ directory automatically.
