What's your favorite text editor?
Mine is vim.
I'm quite partial to gnu nano.
>>53348060
Whats the consensus on Atom? Heard its good but haven't used it.
spacemacs with evil mode
>>53348100
It's slow.
>>53348100
It's written in javascript and has an entire google chrome instance running behind it.
It freezes on files larger than 4MB because it's such a piece of shit.
emacs + evil-mode
>>53348158
Fucking this.
>>53348060
I spent time learning vim keys, now I can't stop using them.
>>53348130
>>53348158
Good to know, thank you
Is it possible to resize the windows in gnu screen, or can they only be of equal size?
>>53348453
I know there is a plugin for Vim that will automatically make the active window bigger.
emacs isn't even an editor
it's a lisp machine
>>53348060
been living with nano/gedit for the last years, but now trying to transition to Emacs. It's definitely something.
So far, the most tangible feature change is the automatic smart indent (or whatever it's called).
>>53348616
I hate all those "smart" indenting, "smart" brackets, "smart" quotes features, every online editor has that shit and it really gets in the way.
I do that stuff manually.
>>53348657
Maybe, but I feel like, 7 out of 10 times, Emacs guesses it right (i.e. indent for line continuation, and properly aligns the line according to PEP8).
Using Emacs feels like I'm flying a 747 even though I just wanna check on my neighbour.

What are these, fonts for ants?
>>53348673
dear god thats nice.
what sublime text theme is this?
>>53348158
Complete bullshit, if you just download it and configure it, it's basically just Vim that looks nicer and more functional.

Just shut the fuck up.
Spacemacs. What's the point of vim even?
What does the sexiest emacs config look like.
Sublime for me
>>53348920
>atom is just like vim
Is VS Code better than atom?
>>53350038
It's literally built on the same framework, electron.
It's much more stable tho, because microsoft.
>>53348597
Why wouldn't you program on a lisp machine? Aren't you a real programmer?
>>53350162
Emacs is literally an OS.
They should just become a kernel replacement at this point, you could use GNU/Emacs.
>>53350162
its just an unfair comparison
though i prefer vim
>>53350168
You literally don't know what OS means.
Emacs is at best a shell, replacing bash, vim, ranger, w3m, etc. with eshell, evil, dired, eww, etc.
OH BOY IVE NEVER SEEN THIS THREAD BEFORE GREAT SHIT OP VERY NICE BRO!
>>53348060
emacs or acme
>>53348657
I don't like the brackets/quote bit, but the automatic indenting is a godsend in languages without semantic indenting (it's pretty much essential for Lisp).
>>53349209
One that does everything you want with little repetition and fluff.
wow visual studio code/atom cant open a 50mb file, into le trash it goes
>>53348715
