I'm using atom ATM just because it was quick to set up and it gets the job done. Whatever.
atom by far,
although some gripes include defining which packages will conflict with each other
and the root directory/navigation menu is buggy.
lastly they need to add a built in script & run/compile
>>54335637
Nano/vim/notepad
>>54335637
Brackets
>>54335637
Atom, just because sublime is not open source.
I used to use awful IDEs, but then I've found Atom, customized and styled it and I love it.
There are probably tools that are more robust and/or require less configurations, but I already set it up to all my needs and I enjoy messing around with CSS and JS to make everything works and looks exactly as I like it.

Why would I use either when I can use vim?
>>54335637
I use kate on leenux and visual studio as text editor on windows.
I switch between Sublime and vim depending on what I'm doing. Both are extremely fast and flexible.
The one that's not a browser pretending to be a text editor.
>>54338473
How did you attempt to install it?
I tried Atom once
it took me 2 fucking hours to compile it
Are all these vim users being ironic as fuck? I bet it's usable when you know all the backwards commands and keyboard inputs, but I can simply not see how a terminal based hard as fuck editor with a learning curve that reaches Dwarf Fortress levels are worth using whatsoever, when the alternatives are actually easy with proper plugins to use instead of Googling "how to do x in vim" every five minutes.

>>54338953
I don't like atom because of Javscript. Not that I hate Javascript but it's fucking slow.
>>54338971
if it's slow because of javascript then how come visual studio code is so fast?
I switch between them. Sublime Text has never crashed on me and can handle any file you throw at it, whereas Atom crashes pretty frequently and is awful at refactoring/find+replacing in bigger files.
The reason I still use Atom sometimes is because some of the language plugins are better than anything available for Sublime Text. The TypeScript plugin for Atom is pretty good, for example.
>>54338929
New fancy editors come and go, but vi(m) and emacs remain. 30 years from now when you're using a karlie-kloss.rubyscript based web 3.0 editor vim users will still be using vim and be more productive than you are.

srsly famz, when will you stop with memeing about editors that are written in meme languages like htm;/css/js? For example in this case obviously sublime is winner.

Just a reminder that Sublime is a total rip off of TextMate, the hotkeys, the multiple cursors, everything. Admittedly TextMate development was stalled and Sublime improved a lot on it...but still, TextMate deserves credit.
I use the One True Editor, of course.
This site does a better job at selling it to potential users more that the official site: http://emacs.sexy
>>54339290
When someone come up with an editor that would give me some significant benefits in switching.
Decreasing startup time from 3 to 1 second isn't really a good reason to start using new editor.

>>54339749
people have to work to make software, the only way they can reliably charge for it is not releasing the source code. When you grow up and get a job you'll understand. Not everyone can live off talks around the world about "free" software like RMS.

Still I use only free software while doing it because of its benefits, and I contribute open source projects in my free time.
>they can reliably charge for it is not releasing the source code
Not always true. There are successful project that became open source and it didn't changed their sales, like Space Engineers. What more, they got plenty of people who write code and fix their own bugs for free. I'm not saying that it will work in every software and that everyone should do it, but just want to remind people that becoming open source can actually give you plenty of benefits and not cause any financial harm.

I like the IDEA of Atom but... The actual implementation is too slow for even the most basic tasks.
It's actually an Emacs written in languages that are less than 20 years old (they replaced Emacs Lisp with coffeescript )
Both are shit.
Sublime is proprietary and bloated, but its bloat is nothing compared to Atom's web-based environment.

I would rather shit my pants than use anything else than Emacs. The learning curve is not that steep. In like 6 months you already know that you will never use another editor again. In 2 years you do everything in Emacs.

Notetab Light.
I've accepted atom, but I don't like it. I don't know why no one can make a good text editor.
What I think I'd really like is a gui vim. One that actually works and has modern features, but with a full vim underneath. I use vim when I work on remote machines/terminal only, but it's so painful for large multi-file projects.
Is atom better for css or should I stick with a real editor?

Oh yeah, just let me spend two years becoming perfectly acclimated to a modal editor so I can do my most common tasks slower and my least common tasks faster. But, yeah, as a vim user, I won't care about actual productivity, just wanking to how elegant and amazing the atomic command set is.
After that, I'll prance around and call myself the god of minimalism because vim runs in a terminal and has a tiny binary, completely ignoring the #ifdef nightmare that makes up vim's source.

Thank you
That's what I was thinking too. Emacs and Atom look very similar (Lisp vs JavaScript interpreted, both accused of being bloated and slow, infinitely customisable, etc) only Atom includes a full web browser engine (browsing the web, html mail) and there are more libraries and developers for JavaScript.
Once web assembly is included in Blink, Atom will become a real OS

Every single time i've tried to use something that's not Notepad++ I've found some ugly things that Np++ does better.
I'm thinking about switching to vim because it's good with HUGE text files.
I installed visual studio code, searched the forums for top-tabs and then immediately uninstalled it when it turned out that they weren't supported.
>>54342280
How come you use all three? I'd guess NP++ for fuckhuge files cause it's well able to handle them, but why both Sublime and VS Code?
>>54335637
Switched to Atom. Not really noticing any performance issues so I'm sticking with it. It has a ton of extensions and plugins. And I make apps in React Native so I use the Nuclide plugin for Atom.
I can't possibly be the only one in here that uses geany, right?
