What is the best text editor?
Sublime?
Atom?
Visual Studio Code?
As a RoR Dev using Git, Atom is pretty based
Notepad.exe

Funny

>thinkpad x220
>sublime runs smoothly and never crashes
>atom loads for up to 2 mins at times, at least once a week I get problems with the extensions
>visual studio I use only for C#, however it loads up to 2 mins too, at least never crashes and once its loaded its running smoothly too, great for debugging
idk, I really enjoy atom, but its so unstable its horrid...
>>52433312
What languages will you use?
>>52433396
For now, Python. In the future I plan on learning C#, C, Rust, maybe Ruby or Haskell or GoLang.
I'll probably use VS2015 for C# and C though.

>>52433435
> he doesn't know ed, THE standard editor
>>52433435
ed is the standard text editor.
>>52433454
Oh okay
>>52433426
you sure have great plans. may i ask, do you know why you wish to put yourself through all this? what's your big idea
VIM if its about overall ecosystem and usefulness after customization.
SublimeText is probably the best when you want user experience and OOTB experience.
Visual Studio Code isn't a general purpose text editor. Its a Microsoft gimmick for developing azure applications on non-Windows.
>>52433312
Out of those I'd personally would recommend Atom. All-around good editor and you can use it to work with multiple different languages. And the community support (additional packages) is rather good

"Ed is the standard text editor."
Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:
golem> ed
?
help
?
?
?
quit
?
exit
?
bye
?
hello?
?
eat flaming death
?
^C
?
^C
?
^D
?
---
Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is
generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm
the novice with verbosity.
"Ed is the standard text editor."

Honestly I just like learning stuff and find it interesting. I'm an Information Systems Major, so all I'll be learning in university is MySQL and C#. I want to know more because it's interesting, plus it will make me look better when applying to a job.
Once I know more I want to help with like Open source projects on Github and stuff though. Maybe think of something cool and make it. Not sure.
>>52433312
vim
>>52433312
IntelliJ IDEA
>>52433312
Sublime if you're willing to pay for the license; Notepad++ otherwise.
I tried Atom but it's bugged as fuck. Also it doesn't remember your session and you have to always save your work unless you install some user extension which is even more bugged and fucks up hotkeys for non-english keyboards. Never again.

Is there a guide to use vim?
>sublime
>atom
>>52433543
Yep
I mean it seems fun to contribute to a project that you find cool in your free time.
>>52433546
No. There's no guide anywhere.
The only way to learn vim is to be taken in by the tribal elders and exposed to their wisdom.
Fucking retard.
Sublime Text 3 when I feel like using a GUI and Vim when I am SSH'ing into my remote server, ST3 has great plugins for code generation and code suggestions
>>52433546
vimtutor, cheat sheets, use a search engine with the keywords "vim tutorial", vim's built-in :help function
>>52433557
Thanks
>>52433582
>vimtutor
can recommend
contains everything (and then some) any novice needs to know
atom is too slow
Sublime opens immediately and I can compile code, looks really nice and the keyboard shortcuts I find intuitive.
That being said, I bought a license years back when they were still dirt cheap.
>>52433312
Leafpad, GEdit and nano.
Notepad++
Guys what is the best editor to type C programs in ?
I still don't get why people use editors written in meme languages (html/css/js). Oh thats right, web dev hipsters.
>>52433686
Turbo C
>>52433697
>Turbo C
for windows ?
>>52433719
in an emulator
>>52433726
I don't really want to run an emulator. Isn't there an application for windows ?
noone posted emacs?
do i have autism for saying dis?
>tfw finally getting an update since 2003
feels good man
>>52433391
Vs is pretty underrated, one of the best IDEs I've used, I use sublime for everything else though
>>52433737
Of course there is, these kids never even seen it, it was made for windows
>>52433312
>>52433426
I do database architecture, C#, Java, and Python programming.
Visual Studio whenever I can possibly use it. My favorite tool. Delicious feature-rich bloat.
Sublime Text for scratchpad and scripting(like VBScripts/Batch files).
SQL Server Management Studio when working with MS SQL databases.
MySQL Workbench when working with MySQL.
Jetbeans stuff for Java and Python (PyCharm and IntelliJ).
>>52433312
Kate since I use plasma
otherwise geany
>>52433312
Out of these 3?
Sublime
>>52433543
Dumb frogposter
Use nano, nano is the best text editor evah!
Emacs
qt creator is by far the best
>>52433491
>so all I'll be learning in university is MySQL and C#.
What kind of fucking education you get? I bet you are from the US of A.
>>52433312

>>52433312
Atom except its regex sucks
which one
PC: UltraEdit
Mac: BBEdit
atom would be the best if it didn't run like complete horse shit.
it seems like it's trying to be like Emacs with a modern interface and coffeescript instead of elisp. i can get behind the idea, but it just runs like shit and chews through battery power. i'd love to use it, but i'll stick with emacs until atom stops being a slow, buggy mess.
Spacemacs is the best.
But if you can't be bothered to learn that, then Sublime. Atom is fine, but in any decently sized project it starts slowing down too much. As far as I know it doesn't offer anything Sublime doesn't, anyway.
>>52438548
Follow your languages best practices.
>>52433312
Neovim.
>>52433947
>28 GB for a text editor with debugging
What's the best for C#/C++ at a beginner to intermediate level? I've been using Visual Studio, it's clunky and I despise the sign in system but appreciate the inbuilt library of information and easy interface to Unity.
>>52439844
If you're using Unity you probably know MonoDevelop
I find it better than Visual Studio after writing an AddIn to disable some of its "features"
>emacs confirmed for kikeware
oh how the stallman has fallen
>>52433391
I have a pretty shit laptop and atom starts in 3 secs.
>he fell for the thinkpad maymay
>>52433749
No, you don't. Emacs+EVIL imo, though.
That said, when fizzbuzzers in the thread are considering atom and ST to be viable options, should we even be suggesting emacs to them? They'll give up before the tutorial is over, long before they ever configure it to be a comfy environment for dev.
>2015
>not knowing it's vim
nice memes in here lads
>>52433312
Vim
>>52433312
>text editor
vim
>IDE
evil mode emacs
>>52440053
>and in this moment i am euphoric, not because i produce code, but because i spend the majority of my time configuring an outdated editor
Been trying out a bunch of different text editor. So far, i like emacs the most.
>>52440102
What's so great about vim?
>>52440308
1. it's vim
2. it's not emacs
DAMN INFO VIEWER
>>52440353
That doesn't explain much
>>52441823
Not being emacs is and automatic good thing because emacs causes Carpal tunnel syndrome and "Emacs pinky"
sam/acme for non-shit languages
>>52441873
At least Emacs doesn't use 6 modes to edit text. Modal editing is a perfect example of an idea so stupid only an intelligent person could have come up with it.
>>52433526
>>52433947
>>52435172
No text editors, IDEs have a different use case. Text editors are for editing basically any type of text you throw at it, IDEs are for specific languages and projects and usually need setup and configuration before you can start.
>>52435314
Well I'm learning sysadmin, netadmin, security type shit mainly.
>>52441999
modes are GOAT on terminal on a GUI they're retarded though
emacs ftw
posted this from emacs

Is notepad++ any good?
>>52433312
nano
simple, yet just works
inb4 someone replies with anything about productivity with vim/emacs/other similar shit
>i have to learn a text editor for a month before i can do shit in it
>one month doing NOTHING productive
for larger files i use Leafpad.
>>52443953
vim for life bitch
