Why are you Sup Forumsingers still using plain vim when there's atom with vim plugin?
I see literally no point in using pain vim.
Atom:
Better looking
Normal featues (mouse control)
TONS of Packages (FTP etc.)
and did I mention it looks way better?

Yo I use vim and atom w/ the vim plugin. The vim functionality is half-baked at best. Also, atom is ide-tier slow.
Chase Williams
Atom isn't slow on my hardware. Files open instantly, and atom itself starts up pretty fast.

>text editing is pretty fast on my gaymen machine
I want text editing to be instant on all machines. If you need to use a powerful machine to run your text editor quickly, it's a garbage text editor.
Levi Evans
Define fast, atom takes about 1 second to open and display whatever I was editing last.
Vim is literally instantaneous.
Joshua Nguyen
Is there anything that sits between vim and nano, feature-wise? Also mouse-support?
Henry Nelson
I don't even have a dedicated GPU so I'm no gaymer. Also for basic editing like configs or notes I use nano. Atom for Development.
Jack Adams
I like atom, and do use it on my desktop, but it runs like complete ass on low end hardware. Also once you really learn vim bindings, you'll see why atom's implementation is a joke.
Hudson Jones
Threre are like 30 vim plugins, are they all bad? I am just using "basic" vim features
Easton Torres
>Better looking
nope
>Normal featues (mouse control)
vim has plenty of "normal" features, including mouse support
>TONS of Packages (FTP etc.)
Vim has more plugins
At least come up with legit criticisms.
Carter Richardson
I use vim-mode-plus which is considered the best one. The author of that plugin though advocates using atom bindings for the more advanced shit.
If all you want is basic vim control, it should fit your bill.

>>Better looking
>nope
yes
Nicholas Lewis
Looks like shit
Justin Baker
looks awesome*
Oliver Smith
nice design, reminds me of TempleOS.
Logan Bell
One of the reasons for using vim is that you don't have to switch between mouse and keyboard. Also what exactly do you mean by mouse control? You can use your mouse in vim just fine.
Grayson Harris
>uses only 66% of the avaialble space
Christopher Martinez
Visual studio code is far better.
Lincoln Watson
I can toggle the gaps and still more than you with your shitty gnome
Nicholas Barnes
how do you get the status lines flush with the bottom? Mine always has a gap
Brandon Cook
:set mouse=a
Connor Richardson
Liam Smith
See I wouldn't mind if I could get it like this, but getting to this stage is a gigantic pain in the ass. I have work to do.
Gavin Perez
Gvim probably
Thomas Barnes
Any actual developer knows Atom is not usable, but if you spend time to master vim, it's very feasible.
In my project, I don't care what you use as long as you are giving the source, so why do you?
John Richardson
Last time I checked the vim keybindings plugin was garbage and only supported the most basic/common of operations. Also, Atom can't handle large files (over a few MB). It just freezes up. If I wanted a GUI text editor I would just use Kate or an IDE.
Camden Bell
installing nerdtree and adding the option set mouse+=a isn't exactly a monumental task
Lincoln Perez
I agree about Kate. It's pretty gud. It also supports vi edit mode too.
