>vim mode
Why not just use fucking vim?

>>56595209
Because I can't be fucked messing around with its shit plugin system and maintaining a vimrc across multiple platforms.

I've been there and done that. I'm getting too old for that shit.

Just as a plain text editor it is still the best out there, but they refuse to bring it to the 21st century.

>>56595236
What does atom offer that vim doesn't other than not having to maintain shit (I only have one computer)?
Not trying to start an argument I'm actually interested.

>>56595178
>actually using jewish spyware

>>56595247
Actually it is just that it (and other editors like it) offer the basic features you expect out of the box and you only need minimal configuration, which is much easier to do than in vim, when you install it fresh.

You could do everything in vim that you can do in atom and other modern editors and vim set up like that is superior, but it takes a LOT of messing around. So using an editor with most of the basic features built in and an easy plugin system to provide the rest is just more convenient than maintaining vim.

>Lightweight

Atom has some good things going on, but it sure as hell isn't lightweight.

>>56595260
nice meme friend, haha :^D

>>56595317
more lightweight than sublime, the editor /g/ retards have been promoting even though it's fucking closed source freeware garbage

>>56595247
better UI, features from sublime (multiple cursors), incredible amount of extensions

is brackets any good as a general code editor, or is it only for webdev?

how does it compare to atom?

>>56595282
is it not possible to make vim portable with everything configured?

>>56595178
>It's vim mode
why compromise?

>>56595282
Actually Atom without configurations is pretty much useless.
You actually need to mess around for some time to make it into useful IDE for various languages.

>>56595592
This is an issue from over a year ago m8.
Telemetry is Opt-in for long time. You need to manually enable it. I didn't even knew there was a package for it.

>>56595574
Because this way you have best of two worlds. Atom UI and package manager is quite nice.

>>56595178
Atom couldn't even handle a 50mb CSV file. Had to get sublime just to open my database schema, nice!

I agree, but the same is true for vim.

The difference is that atom is much easier to configure than vim.

>>56595782
And by easier I mean hours spent, though it is also easier in complexity if that's a consideration.

just use vim. It literally took 0.13 seconds to open the file, render on screen, and then exit

sublime has a vim mode to you dip
and it's like 50 times faster than that bloated SJW shit

>>56596050
sublime vim mode is SHITE

>>56596050
Even my embedded notes editor on my homepage has vim mode.
Sublime still is proprietary and doesn't have such a great packages.

this
Same applies to VS Code.

Also: Input latency /thread

>>56595209
font?

>>56596188

Already do, gedit for text editing and CLion for programming,

atom shills working overtime today

What is the lightest? vscode or sublime?

>>56596287

Sublime out of those two.

>>56596287
Here is a simple rule:
Your editor is based on a browser engine in some way? -> It's not the lightest and you can call yourself lucky if you don't get an input latency > 20ms.

>>56596384

I haven't noticed any input latency between vs code/atom and sublime, but I've never edited a large file and I use a modern system.

I don't get why people vehemently hate this so much. It's not like anyone forced you faggots to use it. If you think it's bloated/a browser then keep using vim or Emacs, no one cares about you.

>>56596142
Well that's true.
But both of them starts in under a second on my machine so it doesn't make much difference.
Still sublime is proprietary and doesn't have all the packages.

>>56596497
I notice input latency even on new files, but I have a 5 year old system. That however is no excuse for a text editors.
Text editors, along with music players, image viewers, terminals, script interpreters, file managers etc are in the category of software that must start instantly on Pentium III and may not take more than 20mb on their own.

>>56596552
Buy computer with more than 1GB ram, it might come in handy.

>>56596513
>It's not like anyone forced you faggots to use it.
That's the part where you are wrong, braindead. (Pro-tip, it's also wrong with programming languages.)

For example, Atom and Braces (another shit tier slow editor) are the only editors installed on my institutes computer pool pcs. And that's a harmless example.
There's always a faggot tool in institutions/gobernment/whatever that decides that in [situation X] it's apropriate to force the users to use software [Y].

So the only possibility to avoid that Y might be shit tier software is to make sure less shit tier software exists after all. At best, nobody writes shit tier software from the beginning.
I don't want them dead, but I want them gone.

>>56596552
It's still true with 16GB machines. RAM access times don't get faster much.

>>56596676
Meant to respond to >>56596609

>>56596676
>>56596695
My Atom boots in under a second. It doesn't really make any difference in case of editor.
And 200mb of ram is nothing when modern computers have 8-16GB.

>>56596665
I don't get, why can't you just use vim on these pcs?

>>56595387
Eh no. Trust me I work as a node dev...I use visual studio code over goddamn atom because my computer doesn't go into shock from the memory footprint of gulp+atom

>>56596665
>are the only editors installed on my institutes computer pool pcs
Jesus Christ anon, what shit school are you attending?
At my university we had ubuntu but we could use literally any packages we wanted because each student had access to install on their home directory.

>>56595389
I hope you have more examples than multiple cursors (which vim can do out of the box with visual block mode)

>>56596775
>I work as a node dev
>Trust me

I'm sorry, you don't do real work so I can not trust you :(

>>56596791
You don't understand what multiple cursors are :)

>>56596791
Power mode

>>56596775
I'm node and rust dev as well and use atom for both of them. It literary never freezes or lags, unless I load 1mb+ file but it stops after 1-5 seconds.

>>56596816
You don't understand visual block mode :)

>>56596854
I know I do but why don't you?

Can't you just use your own computer or install vim on windows?
At my uni everyone use their own computers.
>It doesn't really make any difference in case of editor.
It doesn't make any difference if your editor boots in 1 or 0.1s. You run it only once when you start working and keep using it for hours.

Why not Geany? It's pretty lightweight and fairly extensible. I like it for embedded development because you can make the build command point to your upload tool (though I realize that most of /g/ does not do embedded). You can do that with most IDEs but it takes fewer steps to set that than it would in something like eclipse. Plus, fuck all that "project" nonsense.

>>56595199
It's a full ide breh.

you're a fucking moron, because you don't know the difference between "its" and "it's", so how could you even know that it's a piece of shit node-based program that's slow as fuck next to sublime text?

fuck off

So essentially, what you're saying is that you love to suck cocks?

>>56595178

>>56597580
When it comes to open source programming languages functionally is much more important than political views of its founders. Maybe once you realize it, you'll finally find a job and stop living in your mom's basement.

>>56595387
It's not
- powerful as Emacs
- customizable as Emacs
- lightweight as Emacs
- approved by RMS
- at least, it's not Emacs!

Those five factors distract me from bloatware accidentally called text editor.

Sublime Text has probably the best plugin manager I've ever used. Literally just fucken werks
