I'd say it's the new sublime.

...

A tiny text editor that I can expect to work almost exactly the same on every system I interact with?

Open 10MB text.
Open Big project.

I feel like I'm alone in my intense zealotry of GNU nano, but it really is the best editor!

Can you run it over SSH?
>no

If it was, why are you constantly making threads about it?

That looks pretty shitty desu

I'll stick with vim. It's reliable and I've never had an issue

I don't even care if atom is a web browser, I don't want a 300MB editor on my computer.

VS Code is no different.

Seconded

This

Pretty much the only sane non-GUI editor.

Vim/vi is a different niche. You'd only use it if
-You are completely used to it and don't want to use something else
-You are in a headless environment for whatever reason
-You have it extensively customized to suit your workflow.

Atom has its place for sure, but it doesn't make sensee to compare it to Vi(m)

I would rather use sublime or notepad2 or go back to scintilla than use a html+css+js abomination of a text editor

A CHALLENGER APPEARS

I really like nano to be fair.

>you can't run graphical applications through SSH

it sucks balls

Yeah bitch I nano on my phone all day!

try ssh -X

I prefer micro

bad b8 m8

> not using cat to edit text

>he keeps a needless full blown graphical environment installed on his servers

Speed is an issue, retards.

Right. Which is why you are scum... and that's the point of this thread.

the fucker literally uses 1 GiB of RAM.
worst quality bait OP.

>launching a web browser every time you want to edit a file

Emacs with Evil is the new Vim, you clod.

Says the PHP programmer. lmao

>Vim/vi is a different niche. You'd only use it if

You forgot one:

-You are continually logging into lots of various Linux boxes, and want a 100% guarantee that your editor is always available.

I do lots of installs of new Linux VMs, and I use Raspberry Pis, and such. Vim is everywhere I need to go, and it's always there by default.

For Windows, I just have a standard vim directory that I copy onto the machine, including a special "console.bat" file that sets the %PATH% correctly to use it.

>Vim is always there by default
I think you mean Vi

you have 1 microsecond to name a single reason to use atom over vs code

After having to use vim for so many years, it feels really lacking.

Atom is absolute shit.
Why the fuck would people choose to us a terrible web-app-in-wrapper?

>Press Ctrl+Shift+I in Atom
>Literally a stripped-down Chromium browser
>Literally a web app disguised as a desktop app
Absolutely haram.

Come to think of it, it may be the new VIM. I've started using it after seeing it some Python tutorials and it is a great tool.

It lacks built-in python terminal like sublime but I'm using run-in-terminal to launch python3 with F5 like IDLE.

I have it on my wife's laptop in case I have to do anything from there.

I still use VIM but Atom may start taking over...

Ed is the standard text editor.

Discord and the new Skype are exactly that.

Does VS Code still phone home to Microsoft?

There's a setting to disable telemetry

Atom is a weird editor.
It is made by the github guys, people who are clueless on desktop applications, yet run a service where you easily download source code so you can compile it on your own.
Strongest argument is you don't have to compile it on windows like you did with kate.
But the editor had git integration, surely that is unique.

Like in Windows 10? Or on Vizio TVs?

Vim is not the default.
On Ubuntu the package is even mislabeled tricking people into installing the wrong one.

?

What theme

Got a unix/unix-like OS? Type ed in the terminal and have fun.

Then see gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html

I don't think any modern Linux distribution ships ed by default.

does it still have a dedicated tweet button on the screen at all times?

That's the most autistic thing I've read this year.

You can with X11 forwarding

it's in ubuntu 16.10

Does it still use coffeescript? I can deal with lot of things but fuck that shit, mixing ruby with javascript is a terrible idea.

it's further evidence Sup Forums does not real work.

Been there, done that.
Vim is vim and Emacs is Emacs.
No matter how many plugins you have in vim, it'll never be as powerful as Emacs
No matter how much you try to emulate vim in emacs, it just won't be the same.
If you want vim use vim, if you want emacs use emacs,
If you want to edit text and remain sane, use something else.

Gruvbox

So you're saying that if I want Emacs' power but I also want Vim keybindings, I should just fuck myself with a baseball bat instead of installing Evil?

>I should just fuck myself with a baseball bat
Never said that user, but, whatever floats your boat. IME, Evil is kinda like vim but not fully is you've been actually using it for a long time.

What's missing? I've been using Vim long enough to know the basic set of keybindings are super useful, and most of the meta-editing features have easy equivalents in Emacs and Elisp.

Last time I checked, circa 2014

>text objects
>mouse support
>some weird clashing for commands that began with control or meta, tho not all of them.

atom is LITERALLY TRASH,worst performance ever.


Sublime it's the best out there,even fucking VS CODE (Microshit,lol) is better across all platforms than atom.

What the hell is emacs? I use it, but only for the keyboard shortcuts.

>ran in a browser

No

>What the hell is emacs?
Love and life.

Not even that. It's Wordpress. It's like the retarded kid who ate glue in class who wanted to be a PHP developer but needs a bloated crutch to lean on.

> Doesn't work of SSH without remote X and X11 forwarding.

GTFO

>uses javascript and chromium as base
D R O P P E D .
Vim is still the best. Get over it.

>ubuntu

the only people who actually care about this shit are teenagers. the day you set foot into any real office is the day you discover that nobody actually cares about this petty bullshit.

>browser used as a text editor that can't be used without a GUI
It will never be the new Vim. I'd use Notepad before I used Atom.

>user, did you finish the report
>Not yet, I can't properly set $TEXT_EDITOR to work with $LATEX_OR_EQUIVALENT to generate the PDF's for the meeting
>uh... ok, just remember to also attach the excel files so we all have a copy

if anything nano is the new vim

...

bloat loaded garbage. don't even dare to compare it with sublime

Sorry, atom is nice but it doesn't beat the functionality of vim.

It's vim mode plugin was garbage last I checked.

Why would anyone prefer shit tier Atom vs high tier Sublime? It's literally better in every way unless you're a monkey web """dev"""

>Vim is everywhere I need to go
Clearly you are a noob sysadmin.

hi. you seem to be clinically retarded. Do you need assistance getting back into bed perhaps?

>No matter how much you try to emulate vim in emacs, it just won't be the same.
False. Emacs is the text editor equivalent of Turing complete, Vim is not. You can implement games like Nethack and editors like acme in Emacs.

The reason no Vim emulators in Emacs are 100% accurate is because Emacs is simply superior to Vim for the non-accurate parts, so you'd be a fool to emulate Vim's inferior functionality.

>based on js
>basically a web browser
>slows down to a halt at >1000 lines
that shit is never replacing vim

atom is a piece of steaming shit. it is in fact somewhat of a miracle that you can write a text editor so badly that its performance is actually an issue in 2017. if you even fancy calling yourself a programmer you should simply refuse something so poorly written on aesthetics ground alone.

Exactly. Pajeets could have designed it better. What reason is there to base a text editor on webkit?

Well it does have the advantage of being extremely easy to customize. The power of css selectors makes it so you can tweak anything and everything to your liking.

In vim you have to do regex groups and color the ground matches to get the same kind of functionality.

Sadly, atoms cons outweigh it's benefits.

Wait, what??
So atom now supports VIM commands?
:tabedit filename.extention
gt - next tab
registers?
split windows?
Can run in terminal???
Not bloated?

Oh mai gad, I love atom now!!!

too much rice in atom

As somebody who actively uses both, it's not.

thank you for enlightening me. I like it quite a bit.

neovim is the new vim

really ? atom is installed on every POSIX system by default ? when did that happen ?

thats because you have micro penis

word

You are not. The times i have to use a non-gui editor, it's always nano. Nano is easy, simple and doesn't get in your way. Ofc i don't program projects with it, but for remote editing of configs and small files it's perfect.

Don't lie on the internet

>May start.

Atom will never replace a cli editor. Never. And it's already pretty big, but that's it, it's not gonna blow up and be the next thing, because it's a fucking heavy web app for desktop. FOR EDITING FILES.

>I'd say it's the new sublime.

Lmao

Vi the old one. Vi has been since the dawn of unix and always will be. Vi is eternal.

The meme editor written in Javascript know as "Atom" will pass on and die just like the hipster javascript framework of the week does. It is inevitable.

Yes let the trendy web developer butthurt flow through you.

Which is incredibly slow because, unlike Windows Remote Desktop, it sends actual pixmaps over the network instead of vectorial descriptions of the screen.

>Windows wins this round

whereas you have a nano penis?

better than micro

>not preinstalled on anything
>buggy, slow electron mess
>less plugins and the existing plugins are ported sublime plugins which are badly ripped off vim plugins in the first place
but sure, it comes with pretty colors out of the box XXXDDDD

>wordpress

HAHAHAHAHA, WHAT A FUCKING CUNT

nano = 10^-9
micro = 10^-6
