Why are you doing this to yourself OP?
Atom
Sublime
I don't know. I just always used it, and then I read everyone using these others I've never heard of.
Am I really missing out on that much?
Sublime
Windows: Emacs
Mac: Emacs
Linux: VIm
Yes
Try vim for a week, and then I dare you to go back to nano
This. It's fast, simple, nice, works on all my OS...
Emacs. Wouldn't hire a vimtard let aline someone who uses something even worse.
But I'm afraid of change! I hear the learning curve is high.
what is wrong with kate?
It is vastly better than atom and sublime and a lot more accessible than emacs while still providing a lot of features you would expect of an editor.
Good luck with that organization
Twice be honest famalam tho, vimtards are alright if they're server monkeys
How long are you going to be editing text?
It is, I have been trying for years to get more out of vim but every now and then I have to do something in a real editor because it takes too much time to build all the features yourself.
But nano doesn't really have that many features, so it shouldn't take long to replicate your workflow on vim and if you can do that, vim is really good.
Who do you take me for, a fortune teller?
What features do you need to use another editor for?
If you're going to be editing text for the foreseeable future, it's worth learning a high learning curve tool that will save you time and effort in the long run
It is not something that I have to do often, but sometimes I get in a situation where I just want to get stuff done rather than learn how to do yet another thing.
Like when you want automatic updating, intelligent highlighting or something, vim is just not made to do these things.
There are things I can do in vim that is cool and exiting which I wish was as easy on other editors, but the list is shrinking and it takes seconds to learn on a graphical editor where it takes a lot longer to learn / setup on vim.
Slap
Sublime terminal thing I somehow got used to
>intelligent highlighting

I am itching to try Acme but it looks like a bother to setup and learn. Anyone using it as a daily driver?
Only NEETs use text editors.

Atom
I used to use Vim until I got tired of it.
Never fell for emacs meme, I am not sure if it is real thing or just a meme.
Why? Why would you use an editor build on top of a fucking browser? Why don't you use Sublime?
Sublime is also browser-based. So are Brackets (the one I use for anything with a GUI) and VSCode (the one Microsoft made to compete with Sublime and Atom). They're fine to use unless you need to edit 50+ megabytes of text (such as big MySQL dumps, which I have to do on occasion)
Hey, remember when the joke was text editors written in lisp? Something Something Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping.
Linux noob. Google "best linux text editor".
install vim. no regrets.
I tried nano, but I couldn't figure out how to save and exit.
What do you mean by intelligent highlighting?
Vim has syntax highlighting and powerful visual modes
I don't know what you mean by auto updating either
Literally tells you what to press at the bottom.
Sublime is not browser-based.
>VSCode (the one Microsoft made to compete with Sublime and Atom)
>Microsoft made
VScode is literally an Atom fork
because it is a proprietary software
Atom was easy to install though it takes long time
I was fine with Vim , I needed an editor writing meme php scripts.
I already had bluefish but looks gay as fuck.
you could not figure out nano key combination which is shown at the bottom but can use Vim
Vim
>you could not figure out nano key combination which is shown at the bottom but can use Vim
Pretty sure that's the joke, guys.
Geany is the way to go my nignog, disregard Sublime a.k.a. "The hipster editor" and VIM/Emacs a.k.a. "Autism"
...or just stick to Nano, it just werks.
>VIM/Emacs a.k.a. "Autism"
Have you used vim for more than a few hours?
vim and atom, in that order. Or straight up vi.
>VScode is literally an Atom fork
non-GPL, not even once
Are you implying I'm some kind of neckbearded NEET autismal fuccboi? Watch your mouth before I wreck you, senpai.
So the answer is no. Not surprising you don't understand it, then.
>straight up vi.
for what purpose?
Emacs. Works consistently on all platforms. I can easily transfer for my set-up between platforms. I wish there was a better editor though. Emacs is the best of the bunch for me, but it sucks.
>no true OTF support, e.g. languages that use text ligatures
>shitty ui overall
>bad keybindings that act as reference for other package's keybindings
>outdated as hell
I don't think a better editor is coming along any time soon though. Maybe atom, in like 5 years or something. I don't mind the concept of using JavaScript to extend an editor, it's not like elisp is any better (it's probably worse, actually).
GNU Emacs mustard race
There's Cream for all y'all who are saying "vim is autism". It's a custom configured vim written by an autist so that you don't have to!
>ITT people stuck in the 1980s
We have keyboard arrows now guys
I was just fooling m8, but you are right, I never really bothered to learn all the features, hotkeys, commands and what have you, seemed like a pain in the ass at the moment and I needed to start coding right away.
It just so happens that I have a lot of spare time lately, might check it out and find what's the big deal about it, is there anything like the ULTIMATE GUIDE to vim?
>coding
LOL no, I'm White.
GNU Emacs
Started with Eclipse, then to Sublime, just started using Emacs, I like it so far.
Lisp is not nearly as hard as Lisp elitists like to make it out to be
Lisp is very easy. It's probably the most easy and practical language I've ever used. I don't know who's going around telling people it's hard. If it's "enlightening", it's because the language is so easy to use that you can, for once, actually focus on the problem at hand instead of figuring out how to mangle your language to think about the problem right.
I apologize for taking you so seriously.
Honestly, I'm pretty bad at vim. I did probably a quarter of vimtutor before getting distracted, and it seemed decent.

Vim
>Still using a console text editor that works with keyboard shortcuts
Fucking nerds. It's like you do this just to make GUI text editor users feel bad. There is no good reason to use vim other than make things complicated where they can be simple.
Based acme users
man.cat-v.org
Why the fuck do people still use text editors? IDEs are much more powerful, have auto complete and much more functionality like structure views and better debugging.
Hyperbole aside, I guess I agree with most of the points here.
vimscript is annoying, and neovim is a meme at best. I'm not sure how vim is "bloated," though -- a minimal installation is less than a megabyte. On CentOS 7, for instance:
$ du -h /usr/bin/vi
892K /usr/bin/vi
>[node's founder] admitted [node] sucked, and then laid low to avoid backlash from the psychotic SJW community.
More evidence that "SJW" now means "someone I don't like."
>Sublime Text is just laughable. 70 dollars for a piece of total abandonware?
I detest the nonfree piece of shit that is Sublime, but if Sublime is abandonware, acme is super-abandonware.
Text editor for coding?
Visual studio
Text editors in general?
Windows: Notepad++/word
Linux: Nano
>Text editor for coding?
>Visual studio
>Text editors in general?
What else do you use a text editor for?
>complain about abandonware
>acme hasn't been updated in literally a decade
e.g. quick editing of a config file, taking notes. things like that
>want to use vim
>there's so much shit just to navigate alone
Not who you're replying to, but there's lots of plaintext besides source code that needs to be edited. For instance, configuration and data files.
>Not taking notes on paper
>Not coding a GUI for every config file you want to edit.
Abandon the autism boat while you still can. People who are good at vim seem to be "stuck" using it, like it's an addiction. You give them a mouse and a top menu and they have seizures.
There are plenty of learning resources/books. The first thing id recommend is vimtutor, it comes with vim. Just type "vimtutor" in command line and it will open a plaintext file in vim and gives instructions on editing the file.
First thing you learn is :wq means save and quit. Because q is for quit and w is for wsave. And : is for "cole on and execute my command please".
If you get through this step without saying "Wow, that's a load of retarded bullshit for stupid fucking pissbuckets who are dumb" and returning to gedit, then you are already in too deep.

Does a good text editor actually exist?
Vim or Visual Studio Code
VSCode is the best "rich" editor that isn't ST.
Gedit or Geany?
>Does a good text editor actually exist?
Obviously not, that's why people fight over this all the time.
Windows : sublime,
Linux : atom
Mac : atom/xcode
...
Software can be finished you know
Anyone know the reason why atom is the most unstable/slowest thing on windows. Craps out when I try and open a json file. Regardless of its size. 40kb json takes 30 seconds to open.
Because it's written in JavaSchitt and uses Electron, is maintained by retards and you need a great CPU/GPU combo to not get fucking input lag on keypresses.
Also it spies on you and installs 20MB of bloat addons by default.

>tfw still using nano
Feels bad man. Every time I need to replace phrase x with phrase y I just fire up vim and do %s/x/y/g and go back to nano. Too lazy to make the full switch though.
So NEETs are real programmers?
wich one you would suggest to a noob? it seems like the peoples choice is Vim, but also it seems to be kinda difficult.
Let me guess, you haven't even remapped
It's literally the only default shortcut that is somewhat intuitive.
If you are learning to program, you should pick whatever text editor is simplest to you. It doesn't matter how inefficient your workflow is, you will be spending almost all of your time using reference materials and debugging and the code you write will be very small. After you understand the basics and are ready to start working on bigger projects you should look into more complex options.
I worked in a terminal when I was learning to program and I used nano for a long time, because it was simple and functional. Now I use Vim and Intellij.
>2016
>not using capslock to exit insert mode
Also, stay away from IDE's while learning. Things like static code analysis and autocompletion are powerful tools, but you don't want to become dependent on them before understanding how they work.
>every text editor sucks
Maybe you're the problem senpai.
...
>Now I use Vim and Intellij.
Hey, so do I!
Do you use the vim keybinds plugin for IntelliJ? I do, and the seem pretty incomplete. As far as I can tell, you can't even do basic stuff like :b#.
Just use gedit.
Dumbest fucking advice I have ever heard.
Using a text editor instead of an IDE is like painting with pen instead of a paintbrush, like driving a manual car instead of an automatic, like washing your dishes by hand instead of putting them into a dish washer.
Only autistic babies who don't have a job use text editors, solely because what they create will never be of any actual importance or usefulness. You wouldn't create a masterpiece like Minecraft in a text editor.
Bullshit. Get VS Community, start using C#. You'll be doing real shit in no time while dummies are still trying to figure out 'how to save and exit'.
You can 'grock' what the IDE is doing for you as a part of your learning process.
notepad for windows. pretty lit desu.
I have a keymap to toggle vim emulation in intellij but I mostly stick with the defaults since they integrate better with the tools of the IDE. And honestly, the default keymaps are pretty solid.
