Not using atom editor in current year

>not using atom editor in current year

It's vim mode is one of the best I've seen, it's lightweight as fuck at the plugin community is awesome.

Also it just werks.

>over 100 mb for a fucking text editor

no thanks

>vim mode
Why not just use fucking vim?

Because I can't be fucked messing around with its shit plugin system and maintaining a vimrc across multiple platforms.

I've been there and done that. I'm getting too old for that shit.

Just as a plain text editor it is still the best out there, but they refuse to bring it to the 21st century.

What does atom offer that vim doesn't other than not having to maintain shit (I only have one computer)?
Not trying to start an argument I'm actually interested.

>actually using jewish spyware

Actually it is just that it (and other editors like it) offer the basic features you expect out of the box and you only need minimal configuration, which is much easier to do than in vim, when you install it fresh.

You could do everything in vim that you can do in atom and other modern editors and vim set up like that is superior, but it takes a LOT of messing around. So using an editor with most of the basic features built in and an easy plugin system to provide the rest is just more convenient than maintaining vim.

>Atom
>Lightweight

Atom has some good things going on, but it sure as hell isn't lightweight.

nice meme friend, haha :^D

more lightweight than sublime, the editor Sup Forums retards have been promoting even though it's fucking closed source freeware garbage

better UI, features from sublime (multiple cursors), incredible amount of extensions

is brackets any good as a general code editor, or is it only for webdev?

how does it compare to atom?

is it not possible to make vim portable with everything configured?

>It's vim mode
why compromise?

...

I already have a browser.

It's not a meme you retarded underage faggot.

Actually Atom without configurations is pretty much useless.
You actually need to mess around for some time to make it into useful IDE for various languages.

This is an issue from over a year ago m8.
Telemetry is Opt-in for long time. You need to manually enable it. I didn't even knew there was a package for it.

Because this way you have best of two worlds. Atom UI and package manager is quite nice.

Atom couldn't even handle a 50mb CSV file. Had to get sublime just to open my database schema, nice!

I agree, but the same is true for vim.

The difference is that atom is much easier to configure than vim.

And by easier I mean hours spent, though it is also easier in complexity if that's a consideration.

>lying on an anonymous japanese cosplay forum

>more lightweight than sublime

shill

just use vim. It literally took 0.13 seconds to open the file, render on screen, and then exit

that was 100 MB file BTW

Try it yourself retard

I did and you were wrong.

I bet : ^ )

yes haha

sublime has a vim mode to you dip
and it's like 50 times faster than that bloated SJW shit

sublime vim mode is SHITE

Even my embedded notes editor on my homepage has vim mode.
Sublime still is proprietary and doesn't have such a great packages.
>50 times faster than that bloated SJW shit
Show me any activity that sublimes does 50 times faster than atom

>Show me any activity that sublimes does 50 times faster than atom


startup

it's not better than vim

Buy new hardware grandpa.

use better software SJW.

>it's lightweight as fuck

this
Same applies to VS Code.

Also: Input latency /thread

font?

Already do, gedit for text editing and CLion for programming,

atom shills working overtime today

What is the lightest? vscode or sublime?

Sublime out of those two.

Here is a simple rule:
Your editor is based on a browser engine in some way? -> It's not the lightest and you can call yourself lucky if you don't get an input latency > 20ms.

I haven't noticed any input latency between vs code/atom and sublime, but I've never edited a large file and I use a modern system.

I don't get why people vehemently hate this so much. It's not like anyone forced you faggots to use it. If you think it's bloated/a browser then keep using vim or Emacs, no one cares about you.

Well that's true.
But both of them starts in under a second on my machine so it doesn't make much difference.
Still sublime is proprietary and doesn't have all the packages.

I notice input latency even on new files, but I have a 5 year old system. That however is no excuse for a text editors.
Text editors, along with music players, image viewers, terminals, script interpreters, file managers etc are in the category of software that must start instantly on Pentium III and may not take more than 20mb on their own.

Buy computer with more than 1GB ram, it might come in handy.

>It's not like anyone forced you faggots to use it.
That's the part where you are wrong, braindead. (Pro-tip, it's also wrong with programming languages.)

For example, Atom and Braces (another shit tier slow editor) are the only editors installed on my institutes computer pool pcs. And that's a harmless example.
There's always a faggot tool in institutions/gobernment/whatever that decides that in [situation X] it's apropriate to force the users to use software [Y].

So the only possibility to avoid that Y might be shit tier software is to make sure less shit tier software exists after all. At best, nobody writes shit tier software from the beginning.
I don't want them dead, but I want them gone.

It's still true with 16GB machines. RAM access times don't get faster much.

Meant to respond to

My Atom boots in under a second. It doesn't really make any difference in case of editor.
And 200mb of ram is nothing when modern computers have 8-16GB.

I don't get, why can't you just use vim on these pcs?

Eh no. Trust me I work as a node dev...I use visual studio code over goddamn atom because my computer doesn't go into shock from the memory footprint of gulp+atom

>are the only editors installed on my institutes computer pool pcs
Jesus Christ user, what shit school are you attending?
At my university we had ubuntu but we could use literally any packages we wanted because each student had access to install on their home directory.

I hope you have more examples than multiple cursors (which vim can do out of the box with visual block mode)

>I work as a node dev
>Trust me

I'm sorry, you don't do real work so I can not trust you :(

You don't understand what multiple cursors are :)

Power mode

I'm node and rust dev as well and use atom for both of them. It literary never freezes or lags, unless I load 1mb+ file but it stops after 1-5 seconds.

You don't understand visual block mode :)

I know I do but why don't you?

Not sure if trolling or just stupid...

haha fuck. /thread

a 100mb naked text editor with addons made by pajeets that break every update and when you try to install something, you can't, its full of dependencies errors.

windows

>It doesn't really make any difference in case of editor.

>addons made by pajeets that break every update

never happened to me.

>windows
Can't you just use your own computer or install vim on windows?
At my uni everyone use their own computers.
>It doesn't really make any difference in case of editor.
It doesn't make any difference if your editor boots in 1 or 0.1s. You run it only once when you start working and keep using it for hours.

Why not Geany? It's pretty lightweight and fairly extensible. I like it for embedded development because you can make the build command point to your upload tool (though I realize that most of Sup Forums does not do embedded). You can do that with most IDEs but it takes fewer steps to set that than it would in something like eclipse. Plus, fuck all that "project" nonsense.

It's a full ide breh.

>vim mode
>neon syntax for glowing syntax
>excellent ui themes
>excellent plugins

I concur, there is no excuse for using anything else unless it's a headless machine like a server.

>It's vim mode
so why not use vim, user

it's possible

you're a fucking moron, because you don't know the difference between "its" and "it's", so how could you even know that it's a piece of shit node-based program that's slow as fuck next to sublime text?

fuck off

Well, it's not emacs...

>I'm node and rust dev as well and use atom for both of them
So essentially, what you're saying is that you love to suck cocks?

Atom's vim mode barely fucking works. I'll stick with evil-mode thank you.

When it comes to open source programming languages functionally is much more important than political views of its founders. Maybe once you realize it, you'll finally find a job and stop living in your mom's basement.

It's not
- powerful as Emacs
- customizable as Emacs
- lightweight as Emacs
- approved by RMS
- at least, it's not Emacs!

Those five factors distract me from bloatware accidentally called text editor.

Sublime Text has probably the best plugin manager I've ever used. Literally just fucken werks
