Best text editor for linux?
> Vim Master Race reporting in
There is no better text editor. No other editor is as easy to use, as powerful, as fast, or as simple as vim. With its color-coding and easy-to-use commands, it's truly the greatest text editor I've ever used.

>as easy to use
Vim got the highest learning curve of all editors.
>powerful
Agreed.
Sublime 2 has some amazing features, giving it a try atm... Usually using nano

Nano is what real programmers use, faggot. It's far more intuitive, fast, and easy to use.
> Vimfags will justify needing to press three keys just to execute one command
Only problem I have with vim is that everyone says Emacs+Slime is GOAT for lisp but I refuse to use emacs. I can never get Slimv on vim to work right.

You guys are all fags, real men use gnu moe

Use evil mode or spacemacs or something
joe is the best.
Alternatively run vim in emacs.
>>52130235
Steepest, not highest. It's difficult to use it for the first day or two, but if you so a tutorial or two and learn the basics it's really easy to get stuff done in it. I would say Emacs has the highest learning curve - it's easy to get started with but there's a lot more to learn if you want to be a good user of it.
>>52130180
ed is the standard text editor.
>cucks still defending the vim meme
Emacs will and always has been the superior option. It even has a modal mode for you weirdos.
acme, the integrating development environment
Is it possible for vim to look like OPs pic in console?

VIM is what separates the men from the EMAC boys.

If I've already gone through the vimtutor, should I go through (all 45 chapters of) the User Manual, too?
I feel like there's so much I don't know about Vim, and even though I'm doing some things more efficiently, I still feel like a supreme scrub.

>>Vimfags will justify needing to press three keys just to execute one command
At least we have commands to run, unlike nano which has what, cut and paste? When you can base64 encode an entire file with ggVGg? you let me know
>not just using notepad2
literallywhat? this works and I don't see why I would use anything else
>>52130252
nano is the best

yea, thats a a stretch there anon. but yea, i'm learning vim atm. is goat.
Second left pane, next to NERDtree, anyone have an idea of what that might be?

Join the club. I'll give it a few years and see how it goes though.

Not your homosexual little Windows gui shitware
>>52130794
>I would say Emacs has the highest learning curve
Yeah but Emacs is also more of an environment than a text editor, what you're saying is like saying a desktop OS has a higher learning curve than the firmware on a dollar store calculator. Of course it does, it also does a lot more.
>>52134685
Emacs is a great system, only lacking a good editor.
>>52134709
That joke would be funny if it didn't come with a good editor
I would say kate.
It has keybinds which is familiar (vi or typical gui hotkeys)
Has a lot of features and most of them is enabled by default so no setup required.
The default layout is a bit weird but can easily be changed.
If you use graphical hotkeys, you can easily change / view hotkeys and you can search for hotkeys in the settings.
Search and replace has different modes, so you can use what is easiest for you.
I guess that with enough tinkering, you can make vim as good as kate, but kate is just more comfy.

nano master race
What does Vim offer that makes it better than Nano? Is it more suited for certain types of work?
Not bait. Genuinely interested as I'm planning on learning it if it is better.
>>52134709
>only lacking a good editor.
kekd
>>52134762
more features
But if you can use vi, that is smaller, installed on almost all systems and works well.
>>52134725
And if it wasn't the 9415th time we'd read it.
Can you guys shill me on the benefits of using vim or emacs over a"normal" editor (stuff like notepad or atom)? I'd like to start using them more, but I haven't read enough shillposts about them yet

Emacs + Evil. Only a complete faggot wouldn't use the best thing available.

To everyone, who struggles with using Vim. Try typing "vim help" in DDG and you'll be presented win an awesome cheat sheet that covers most of the basics. Thanks to that and a vim-based browser like Qutebrowser I went from being completely helpless in vim to being able to edit files without randomly deleting everything.

How long did you take to just try and edit/create stuff with it? In like two weeks I had most of it pretty well, everytime you have to do something that feels stupid look up what the non stupid way is

Many things triggered me immensly in this image. The first and foremost being that reference-model GPU. After that I saw everything else. Then I noticied the woman.
This is some high-level autism I have going on here.
Eclipse.
Geany is based
how long does it take to master vim?
Do you use any kind of autocomplete or you remember all functions possible parametrs etc?
IntelliJ IDEA master race
>>52138059
a lifetime

>how long does it take to master vim?
It doesn't take too long to become "good enough" at it. Truly mastering it takes a while, and basically needs you to make vim your hobby for a few months.
>Do you use any kind of autocomplete or you remember all functions possible parametrs etc?
There's a pretty great autocomplete plugin called YouCompleteMe, and it works really well out of the box. You can fiddle with the settings to make it even better if you want, but I've never bothered much with that. My main complaint is that it's written in C, so you have to compile it yourself, but that was only a big deal when I just started programming and wasn't used to compiling things from source code.
