One advantage I've come to appreciate about Dash/Zeal docsets: it's really nice having focused search. The text search is constrained to the languages I care about enough to download the docset, substantially increasing the relevance. In Google I'd need to specify the language.

Fun fact: for simple text diffs, difftastic is now constrained by terminal output performance! I halved instruction counts for diffing a 300KLOC text file against "" and I only went from 8.2 seconds to 6.5 seconds.

@cstanhope I wondered the same thing! Was he constrained by computer power at the beginning? Did he set out to spend three years typing, or was he just fascinated by the results each day? I don't know the answers, sadly.
