I'll stick with emacs. Dumb hipster bandwagon hopping faggot.

how do I get rid of the retarded vertical line

What the fuck is this shit? I need Alt Gr + B for {
Recently switched from Sublime and i really like it.
It's slower than Sublime when opening large files but if you have to do that, you should just stop programming cause you're doing something wrong
>>54542303
Emacs is better.
>Anything but GNU Emacs
For what purpose?
>>54542303
I switched to VS Code because Atom is sooooo slooow
I actually like it a lot
>>54542303
I like it.. its made by sjw retards, but who cares. I have OCD and need to be able to customize my editor 100%.

thanks for pointing that out, I was wondering if it was any good or not.
To me any text editor that uses AltGr+something is automatically shit because of actual keyboard layout needs.

sounds good, what keyboard layout is this. my little finger already hurts from typing all those fucking brackets
>>54543182
Brackets is awesome but doesn't meet dependencies on Linux.
Fuck Adobe.

What's the problem? Works nice on lmde2
>>54543245
not the same guy, but if you are French or speak French, I recommend you the bépo layout. It’s optimized for this language, and it isn’t that bad too for English. On this layout, brackets are AltGr+y and AltGr+x (both are right next to each other)

Unlike Atom, you can actually hack Emacs without it turning slow as shit.
>>54543858
Don't need to hack Atom, it's slow as shit stock.
>>54543836
because nobody uses it. majority uses atom, some use brackets and only few use vscode.
>>54543902
You know what's funny? That VSCode, built on the same technology as Atom, is smooth as fuck, whereas Atom is a slow piece of junk. What's even funnier is that the technology is built by the authors of Atom, so they can't even utilize their stuff well.
>>54543713
>web dev
>>54543054
Better than AltGr+7 on my crazy german keyboard. Especially since Linux refuses to emulate AltGr with LCtrl+LAlt.
>>54543919
maybe VSCode is smooth because it lacks functionality. atom would be smooth too if you disabled 80% of is extensions.
also, I dont have problems with atom.
>>54543858
If atom is slow for you then your machine most be horribly out of date or Atom isn't made for your use case.
>>54542303
It's not bad, but there are unavoidable problems with building a IDE on top of a browser. Doing any kind of regex find/replace brings it to its knees.

Between sublime and atom i liked sublime more but it has he cringy buy / evaluation popup every time i save.
Recently i started using Emacs. I think I'll switch over for good once i learn it a little more.

8gb late 2012 macbook pro shouldn't have performance issues.
I can run Ableton and 50 Chrome tabs and an ungodly number of open emacs files, but one Atom frame will always take a few seconds to load. It's really that, for me, a second of delay is unacceptable.
I like it, and it's slow and lacks a couple of small things (like remembering and anticipating my choices in the command palette), but it's improving all the time and everyone says Sublime is abandonware so I don't have much choice.
Been kicking around the idea of teaching myself Vim, though.
I use it
Tried to open a 64k line text file and it if i tried to do anything it crashed

Are you using US layout?
>>54542303
Other than high memory usage, it has no drawbacks. I used to use Emacs but JS is faster than Lisp.
I disabled tabs, installed an integrated terminal, installed some other file picking whatever the fuck, and customized the settings, and it's hella good.
>>54544349
Yes, got this laptop in Canada and I prefer US layout in general as it is most common.
Master race coming through

Oh and a C++ linter.

Emacs is mostly written in C though, also, JS is not faster than Lisp.

I picked up a bit of frontend work lately out of boredoom. It is really nice and smooth, but as a backend developer I couldn't do serious work using it. This is not an IDE
>>54542303
It's nothing but an inane idea to implement a source editor with DOM elements.
>>54543713
It can even complete it, you massive faggot.
>>54544901
depends on the language. it has great php support (linters, look up declarations if you use ctags)
out of box it is really bad though for some languages, but there are tons of extensions.
>>54544969
I need a bit more. It cannot comprehend the idea of semi-global objects like servicemanager. Also it barely read annotations from class variables, by which I have to create redundant method return annotations.
I'll stick to intelij for backend, atom for frontend :3

This. VS Code is better but Atom isn't bad.
>>54542303
I like it. Works great when using React Native.
>>54542303
The most bloated text editor I ever used. Aside from neon glowing text, it is dogshit compared to VS Code and Notepad++
>>54542303
Installed it, it sucks. I can't get a feel for it and the fact that it relies on shit like node.js feels fucking wrong.

I guess if I was a pajeet with athlon cpu, I would be using sublime too (vim is probably too complex for a pajeet)
>>54545250
I agree. Tried both. Atom is too damn slow, but I still like it. VScode runs so smooth, and it has the ability to control+click on a method which will lead you to it's implementation. And if you are in the implementation, shift + F12 will show you a cool view where all the method calls are. I use this a lot.
IntelliJ is master race.
The only problem with its web dev if that the live editor is only available for Chrome.
>>54545813
>it has the ability to control+click on a method which will lead you to it's implementation
Middle-mouse click. It'll open the implementation in a new tab. Much more convenient.
>>54545841
awesome, thanks anon
>>54545813
>it has the ability to control+click on a method which will lead you to it's implementation
if you download the ctags plugin for atom, you can have this too.
>>54543139
This is one of the topics on /g/ I don't understand but I like to Google what y'all are talking about and GNU Emacs looks like a pretty crazy program.
If you use anything other then nano you are a scrub.

Worst piece of shit that I've ever used since Windows Vista. It's slow as hell even in the most basic of the settings. Well, I expected as much from something built with a meme language by SJWs.

Is this thing open-source or is this just marketing speak for 'configurable up the ass'?
I like atom for DE but it heavy on resources, so its a no go on older machines.
>web app
If that's your only choice there's codemirror with vim keybindings...
>>54542303
its great if you just want to load a file up at starbucks and play pretend.
>emacs if you're a configutard
>vim if you're a composibilitard

those are your options. anything else is a waste of time. if you edit text for a living, you should take the time to learn a text editor that rewards practice.

Only simple text editor with lua syntaxing and LÖVE running I could get running on my Lubuntu laptop/10
I like it but it boots up too slow. They need to change how it loads none essential packages, if that's what is causing the slowdown.
>>54542560
Node is faster than a lot of other languages so you should be happy about the speed and efficiency it provides.
>>54543146
Reminder they're both made with Javascript.
Not a bad thing, just pointing it out.
>>54543957
If your machine is too slow for a text editor and it's made any time in the last two decades, that text editor is too fucking fat. There's no excuse for that kind of bloat.

Anyways, Sublime is just as performant in many ways, but it's hard to script it well.

Trash. i dropped it after 2 days and switched to Brackets.
>>54550639
>Trash. i dropped it after 2 days and switched to Brackets.
>doesnt explain why he "dropped it"
>continues to shill competition product
fucking shills, if you said you dropped it for emacs or vim, or hell even sublime, I would have believed you
Atom is like open source sublime, so it was my editor of choice for a while, but it's also a stupid bloated and turns my t450s into a MacBook as far as frying eggs on my lap/diy spermicide goes. I've been using vim for a while, but vscode looks promising. Definitely better than Atom after 20 minutes of playing around with it.
>>54549968
Isn't the emacs windows port famously shit? The only good emacs platforms are macOS and linux, right?
>>54544482
emacs uses it own lisp language, not common lisp. They eventually plan to switch to using GNU Guile which is supposedly faster (also can use more languages like scheme).
>>54544640
Not everyone is born with English as his parstletongue you scallywag.

Node.js is fast for one (and only one) purpose: event-driven IO with thousands of small concurrent tasks. It is NOT fast in general.
Node.js is great for its intended purpose. Sadly, many webdevs try to use it for absolutely everything even when it's the wrong tool.
I use visualstudio on windows and kate on Linux.
Fuck off with your javascript garbage.
>>54551025
Webdevs are the oddballs of the software development world. Everyone else for the most part will use the right tool for the job even if that means learning new languages and APIs, but web front end guys are incessant in trying to use a hammer where a wrench is more appropriate. It's like they're allergic to learning anything new.
>>54544402
what do you use filezilla for
what's that eagle program
>>54544482
Those are bad benchmarks. Node.js is remarkably poorly-suited for those sorts of heavy compute tasks. It's made for asynchronous I/O. Benchmarking its performance for compute tasks is unfair.
Node.js is slow for normal desktop applications, but those benchmarks do not prove that.
>>54542303
The best editor I've tried so far.
Vim or Emacs are probably better, but I've not tried them. I've customized Atom in a way that it works perfectly for me, so I don't see any point in trying others. Also my laptop isn't shit so it doesn't lag in any way.
>>54543054
What.
Why can't you just use Shift + [.
Also you can rebind everything.
>>54546226
Open source.
All packages are open source as well and easy to alter/modify.
>>54551475
>Also my laptop isn't shit so it doesn't lag in any way.
Try opening a real project like Linux in Atom, make sure you have movie ready to watch on a separate computer.
Atom is so fucking slow.
I've never had any problems with Sublime, which is supposed to be slow as shit since it's non-parallel Python, but somehow Atom manages to be an order of magnitude slower.
>>54551618
slowest program I've ever used
>>54543942
How about replacing ÄÖÜ with the brackets --> switch to english layout dring programming
>>54547317
That's so goddamn true.
And not only text editors, websites as well!
WHY IN FUCK would a website designed to spread information need FANCY animation and stuff which only adds lag and frustration to the user experience.

>>54552165
And the worst part? It's only going to get worse. Despite computer power having been stuck in a plateau for *years* now, the developers responsible for this crap are still parroting, "lul who cares computers are gonna offset my lazy ass anyway".

gEdit is pretty chill. Only problem is that it really only fits in on a GTK-dominated Linux/BSD desktop and is just barely passable under Windows. GTK anything is royal ass on OS X.

So, does anyone can give me example when Atom is actually so slow that it decreases your performance? Or it's all just shilling.
People who use Ruby and Python think atom is fast.
>>54552565
Not really. Most Python and ruby guys I know use sublime or vim.
It's mainly JSfags who love atom
>>54552056
What de are you using
>>54542303
Tried atom for a little bit. Managed to get it to crash horribly when I tried to install a linting package. Felt slow as all hell on top of that. 3/10 might be good if you're node-inclined.
10/10 vim for life
Plus, knowing vim inside and out has the added benefit of me having a text editor I'm super comfortable with on any *nix server I log in to.
Anybody here using neovim lately? How's that project shaping up?
>>54552056
What package are you using for those buttons on the right? Looks useful
>>54552650

>>54552748
tool-bar + flex-tool-bar + some custom css style
My flex-tool-bar config: http://pastebin.com/gXJYnxy5
The Rust's cargo commands I'm using are not currently available. However my PR was accepted so it's going to be supported soon.
It's very useful, but only if you configure it and have other packages to bind. There are packages with complete configs for tool-bar, but why would you use them when you can build perfect toolbar by yourself.
