>What's the best code editor
Whatever has the best support for intelligent refactoring in the language you use.
Visual Studio is decent these days. Last time I used Eclipse I thought it was pretty nice.
vim is a decent text editor. If you think vim is great for programming because it has "really powerful" text editing tools, then you're programming wrong. Make the machine work for you. Don't reprogram your brain and fingers to work for the machine.

vim can't capitalize the words I just typed without going to normal mode like emacs does

I love vim and I have used it for half a year now. However I wish I could drag tabs and windows to rearrange them with my mouse because I find resizing tedious to do without a mouse.

>using gvim
>>51637029
Can I use gvim as if it was regular ole vim with only difference being mouse window resizing and dragging? Or are you just memeing me
>>51636478
That's too much work. Emacs can do it on the fly as I type.

set mouse=a
Is that what you're talking about?
>>51634544
>>51637058
You can. But you can do the same thing in vim by enabling mouse mode and using a terminal emulator made any time after the 80s.
Which program do you think will get a good editor first, emacs or systemd?
>>51639398
I laughed out loud at that.
>>51639559
emacs already has a great editor

Best txt editor is Atom. Go download it and you'll agree

hey vim users
is vim a good text editor outside of programming? at least I noticed that it's useful for editing other users' files as it runs on a terminal. (with su)

It is my deepest regret that my kinsmen do this.
