Brownie points for better suggestions
Notepad++
>>55097192
Neither.
Sublime is proprietary and costs money. And Atom is slow because fuck JavaScript.
On Windows, Notepad++ because that shit is fast and has shit like FTP support. Everywhere else, Vim.
In my next life, emacs.
nano > everything
>>55097192
Sublime because I have no idea what Atom even is.
>>55097211
It's paid because it can be. I paid for it and would pay for it again based on how great of a program it is. It just werks.
>>55097234
nano... more like... HELL NO.
Oh man, it sure is summer in here.
>>55097256
Same anon here, and yep, Sublime is great. I love it.
I'm happy with NPP and Vim though.

Vim and emacs are for hobbyist memers, so definitely not them.
Sublime Text for me. Currently writing a tool for S.M.A.R.T.
>>55097328
Likewise, Atom is a slugish pile of shit built on meme technologies.
>>55097362
lovely setup. that gnome? what distro and themes, etc?
>>55097304
Vim and Emacs grand-daddies, attack!
Nano with syntax highlighting deessuu
>>55097192
atom is buggy and slow
yes it's actually slow for a text editor, I have i7 ssd etc and it's still slow.
sublime is a disgusting proprietary software that does nothing to improve on vim or emacs but if you have to make the comparison yes it is actually better than atom.
Someone suggest a distro which doesn't kill my laptop battery life? Currently Ubuntu with Sublime Text
Netbeans.

That's pretty :3 what's ya dock called friend
vim and geany are nice, I've heard good things about emacs
I like sublime text better
it is such a shame that its not an open source software
>>55097910
Its an extension for Gnome 3 called dash to dock.
It can be configured to shift your dock into panel mode and you can tweak your icon sizes.

Sublime, it's multiplatform, has a lot of packages you can use to customize it, isn´t a piece of shit built on node.js and you can use it without paying if you are a cheap bastard like most mouthbreathers complaining about it.
Atom is slow as fuck, has flashy stupid plugins made by SJW and even though is open source is a bloated mess.
If you are doing light editing, Notepad++ is more than enough.
>>55097192
Sublime is non-free and slower because it's in Python and not JavaScript.
>>55097964
>needing a monitor instead of just using punchcards
???
VS Code
Not as easy to customize as Sublime or Atom.
Freer than Sublime.
Faster than Atom.
>>55097210
simple, powerful and easy to use, at least is free
I haven't had any problems with Atom's speed aside from the startup time, I wish the damn thing wasn't all in memescript though. Maybe webassembly will make it faster, but that's at least a year away.
I might go back to Sublime 2 or 3 sometime.
I don't think atom is slow because of Javascript, because vscode is based on the same backend and is plenty fast.

You can use vim on Windows. Same with Emacs.
Ive noticed that VS Code has a nice debugger, Im surprised that MS is giving it away, I cant see what they have to gain by giving it away.

you could write your own text editor in the time takes atom to boot. atom is hot garbage
>>55103118
>in the time takes atom to boot
This is exactly why I decided against it after trying. It's bad enough that my computer itself is garbage. I don't need the software to add to the slowness.
>>55097192
Vim.
>>55103118
>>55103130
Still better than sublime
t. Vim god
>>55097192
Does Atom, Sublime, Notepad++, nano have regular expression search and replace as powerful as Vim and (I guess) Emacs?
For example can they match character ranges, character classes, multiple matches, alternate matches, new lines and matching across lines, inverses matches, specifying pattern start and end, capture match and repeat it during replace, etc?
Atom is slow and bloated

Atom: Freetard delusion at its best. The program is genuinely worse, but it's "free" and "hackable" so you put up with a useless piece of shit instead of using sublime.
Sublime: Crippled compared to emacs, still has retarded keybinds, just get a real IDE if you want to be modern. Or use notepad.
Emacs: Stuck in the past due to a large contingent of users that are from the past. Would you like to save with C-s? Well, that's not what they used to save back when it was a hacked copy of teco that executed macro registers when it received certain control codes. The average emacs user spends half their time attempting to make emacs usable, or switching to vim after trying the defaults. You would actually save time by using nano.
Nano: If you thought emacs was dated, check this out. Based on the text editor for an ancient console mail client, you can't even select, cut, copy, and paste without obscure shit like marks. For a UNIX program, it sure sucks, because you can't make good use of external commands. Try vim.
Vim: Will expand your definition of bloat to include massive blocks of unused and unmaintained cross-platform code, and how fat you become practicing your text editor like an instrument only to use its most powerful features so rarely that you're actually losing time instead of saving it (assuming you're a programmer and not playing vim golf all day). Consider acme.
Acme: Crippled on purpose because rob pike is a hipster retard. Also bloated because it has sam glued to it. Clickable text assumes insensitive 90s mice. Just use sam.
Sam: Another retarded "ed on steroids" like vim. There's not much to say about it. Just use notepad.
Notepad: The perfect editor.
I understand the arguments for and against Vim and Emacs, but why would anybody pay for sublime?
>>55103237
Sublime has these
>character ranges, character classes, alternate matches, new lines and matching across lines, inverses matches, specifying pattern start and end
I'm not sure what you mean with multiple matching and capture and replace, but I'm assuming you mean these

GNU Emacs it the only text editor you should use

GNU Emacs does too.

Go isn't a text editor.
>>55097304
if you really want a graphical text editor, kate is really good.
better than sublime and atom and it is free
>>55097192
I know some really like Visual Studio Code, which is Microsoft's take on a plain text editor, and it looks pretty much the same as Atom and Sublime Text.

vim has a gui you fucking idiot. It's simply a command line one. If you're a faggot you could go for vim with gtk.
You don't need a gui for a text editor. both Sublime and Atom have minimal GUIs even.
>>55097601
Lol vim and emacs both have a gui. by default
>>55100408
this. GVim on windows works really well, I use it everyday
Atom looks terrible on a hidpi display and it's slow. I'm sticking with Sublime for now.
Visual Studio 2bh fampai
>>55097192
notepad++ because the macro recording is easy, effective, and cool
VS code for everything else
>>55097192
kate
>>55097192
VS Code
- open source, unlike sublime
- has about the same amount of plugins atom has, minus shenanigans like typing particle effects and fixing plugins
- while based on electron, not that slow as atom, MS basically beat github at their own game
I am wondering what do people think of xcode? I don't have a Mac but the people that I know who do always use it. I'm not really sure what it can do, and since it's only for osx I can't even try, so just wondering what you guys think compared to the usual ones like vim, emacs, sublime, etc?
>>55107145
I have a mac and I never use xcode. it's great for iOS development but with most projects increasingly being web-based (or eligible for hybrid app development, like using ionic), the advantages of xcode are dwarfed by its weight.
Sublime Text is pretty fast and much more *extensible* (specifically with the things I want; xcode does a lot but it's all this shit i don't need), and vim is extremely fast.
>>55107103
- builtin telemetry
>>55103493
check out xenlism icons, i think they will look nicer than numix
also what distro is that? fedora or ubuntu gnome or something else? looks crisp
>>55107290
you realise not all telemetry is a bad thing? firstly you can disable it if you want to, it is literally one setting. second it only sends feedback on what packages install fine or fail etc.
If you're on macOS, you should either use Xcode, or Emacs.
>>55107484
Pajeet, I'm not going to use your stuff if you have to check how my poo looks and smells.
>>55107510
and yet you are the same kind of person who will bitch and moan when a plugin causes a program to crash or slow down. Firefox got so much better when they introduced telemetry and found out which extensions where fucking things up and why.
I've used vim for decades now. My fingers have vim memory. I've tried Emacs on and off over the years, but always end up hating it. currently running spacemacs. It is the most narcissistic editor in existence. It's purpose in life is to edit it's own config files and debug it's shit repository of packages that constantly break in evermore new and novel ways. Actually doing productive work with it is an afterthought.
Vscode is good, if it weren't for my vim muscle memory, it would be by daily driver.
Sublime text is good, but I'll never use it because it isn't open source.
Atom is OK, but I get the feeling it will end up a bloated IDE like eclipse.
Notepad++ is fine on windows, but I want something cross platform.
Nano, Jed, Joe, Emacs and Emacs clones, Sam, acme, etc are all deprecated and should not be used.

Switched from npp to sublime years ago. Tried webstorm and atom but too slow.
>>55104935
It is Atom
>router doesn't work right
>need to change some config files
>you better know vi
I use vim on my main machine and through that I know vi well enough. vi is everywhere, so I find that pretty useful
>>55097210
Too ugly
for doing backend web programming I think WebStorm and VS Code have an advantage over Sublime and Atom by having more IDE features whereas Sublime and Atom just have enough features to support frontend work. Pluralsight has a course for both WebStorm and VS Code
>>55097328
How are you guys using sublime on Linux?
I've tried it on both fedora and arch and it would lag like shit, so it was totally unusable.
The only reason I'm still using atom is exactly that problem.
Microsoft word
I used notapad++ all my life until I discovered the developper was a french SJW.
Now it's Sublime all the time everytime cause I'm just shallow like that.
