I always hear people shilling for Atom and how awesome it is.
I use vim and i like small expendable editors, so i thought that the name Atom sounds lightweight and the UI looked clean too.

But then i looked at https://atom.io and read:

“Atom is a desktop application built with HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and Node.js integration. It runs on Electron, a framework for building cross platform apps using web technologies.”

WTF is this shit?
Why do so many people think that it's a smart idea to build a desktop application like a fucking website?
>>
>>57172665

I don't think many people use it
>>
Because platforms like Electron made it easy for shitters
>>
Atom has Google analytics built in and enabled by default
>>
Sublime is a nice mix.

>>

dunno man, it does the job... it has nice plugins, but I also you brackets and sublime, so it depends on the job, I helps me do my job faster, its not about the tool, its about how you use that tool

What's there to talk? The topic of text editors was finalized in 1985 when rms wrote Emacs 15.34.
>>
A majority of large companies are swapping g to electron for developing their desktop apps. The reason why it's becoming popular to build desktop apps in web development t languages is because they can resize an existing g code base from their website and the applications are cross platform. Normally managing windows, notifications and task bar APIs is in a per OS basis.only sacrifice for a majority of services to use this method is you lose about 1-2 seconds of start up time. A small price to pay for one universal code base.

Desktop apps made with Electron can be fast, see Discord. But it's kinda funny that Atom, the de facto Electronc's flagship app is complete garbage.

>>
>>57175216
I don't know, they don't for me. I've been using the Discord app ever since one of the devs posted an unofficial Linux binary and it's been working smooth since then, on the contrary I've been trying out Atom every two months of so ever since I've heard about it and it's always been a laggy piece of shit. Apparently the mileage varies.

Using vim at the moment after playing with a few editors.

>sublime
I'm not paying for a text editor in 2016; that just seems ridiculously stupid. I'm also not using a trial version or cracking (a TEXT EDITOR.) Also who the fuck has the audacity to charge $70 (for a TEXT EDITOR)?

>emacs
Good I just prefer the simplicity of vim.

>atom
Did a clean install using apt and after opening the options menu I was barraged with runtime errors. It might be a good editor but that left a bad taste in my mouth.

I think notepad++ and gedit are fine for most people. I am only using vim because I like the idea of using my mouse as little as possible.
>>
>>57173051
Literally -the- correct answer to this thread. Text editors come in two forms: vim and emacs. The GUI abominations that have been calling themselves simple text editors are just half-ass IDEs masquerading as text editors and they have no place in the modern development process. Either use a full IDE for major projects or use a true text editor. The end.

AltGr (right Alt) key doesn't work properly (registers as Shift + Ctrl or something), which fucks over many users with non-US keyboard layouts, as you have to unbind a shitload of shortcuts and rebind them manually to be able to use basic AltGr functionality. You can get around this with some hacks, but I have never seen a fucking text editor that doesn't have this working out of the box.
I find it really ironic that SJW coders who bark about inclusivity love praising Atom, a fucking text editor that doesn't work with dozens of international keyboard layouts. Check your first work privilege

The end user wants emacs. Not exactly emacs, but the editing philosophy and extensibility of emacs. Yes, a new keymap for emacs would do this, but they also want it to look like a hollywood hacker UI from the future instead of a hollywood hacker UI from tron.

The developer wants to meet the needs of the end user and get lots of attention and love, but the developer only knows web language garbage

The competent developer that isn't a fucking attention whore sees no point in wasting his valuable time when vim, emacs, and sublime all work well enough and thinks ricer faggots who wants CSS transitions in their syntax highlighting don't deserve nice things anyways

So you get atom

vim is not a programmer's text "editor". it's a text editor in the sense that awk is a text editor. if someone made vawk, would you praise that? vim is meant for heavy text editing, not text creation with the occasional edit

And having to drop out of insert mode to do the things you most commonly do after inserting text is kind of stupid.

It's more keystrokes than other editors. For common editing, it's less efficient. Vim doesn't come into its own until you start using it to compose macros to do things like strip HTML tags and rearrange the #declarations in a mismanaged C file faster and more intuitively than you could have ever worked with sed or GNU awk.
>>
>>57177612
>It's more keystrokes than other editors.
How do you delete everything inside brackets in other editors?
In vim you move inside the brackets and do "ci(" or "di(".

Seriously, vim seems convoluted and weird, until you learn about vim motions, then a whole new world opens up.
>>
>>57177685
I just press Ctrl+= for each layer of brackets (alt-number ctrl+= if there's like four) and hit "delete". Ah yeah, you should get a semantically expanding selection plugin for every editor. They even have it for vim.

I usually don't have to hit ctrl+= more than once.

Inner brackets are two strokes
Next layer is (ctrl+=,= delete)
Everything after that is 4 (alt-# ctrl+= delete)

And vim users with stock motions have 4 for everything after the first - #ci(/#di(

I get it, the modifier keys can really start bothering you if you're running it repeatedly, but at that point you're probably composing a macro and I would drop to vim there

but

vim is "ci*delim*" = "cut in *delimiter*" or "di*delim*" = "delete in *delimiter*"

How is ci intuitive? Are you sure it doesn't mean "create inner *Delim*?

Maybe, but it's still more intuitive than "Ctrl+=" which is just arbitrary.
>>
>>57172665
Sublime masterrace reporting in.
>>
>>57177889
It is in no way intuitive except that it's clear that you are doing an operation with the chosen delimiter. Maybe the i refers to insert mode? Who fucking knows.

I might as well call emacs' massively retarded C-k/C-w combo intuitive because K stands for kill line and W stands for "Why would kill line not be able to kill a region"

Cars are getting more and more powerful with smaller engines.
My 2.0L Audi from 2003 isn't able to keep up with a modern turbocharged 1.2/1.4L engine.
Its not about the technology you use but how you use it. Just because something is cheaper to make doesn't mean its bad if you have the right engineers do the job.

I've used dozens of text editors and while I don't agree with how it was built, there's no denying it does it's job well.

Because the tools to build websites have become very flexible and powerful? What exactly is your objection here? If it's performance, well then let's fix it. Integration? Let's fix it. Footprint? Let's fix it.

I use cygwin to run gvim on windows and it was kind of weird to set up, but it's nice cause I literally just copied my .vim folder from my linux install into cygwin and now my vim behaves nicely.
I suggest using cygwin for any kind of development on windows and I can show anyone interested how to set up gvim in their cygwin install.

I have heard a lot of good things about Atom that makes me want to use it, but the HTML/node.js part actually affects me trying to use it (takes for fucking ever to start up, generally feels clunky). Maybe one day I'll figure it out, but the only condition where I switch over to it full time is if it implements a majority of vim's functionality.

Why not just use vim?
>>
>>57173163
Not when you're fluent. Switching to normal primitive text editors is a pain in the ass for me now that I don't have the keybindings of vim.

>>57173715
I used sublime for a long time before I switched to vim. It supports an OK portion of vim commands which is nice; the feature it has that I really wish vim had is multiple cursors. That's not enough for me to switch, however.

font color weirdness
doesn't interpret all commands the same because of how terminals work
nice to have a dedicated window for gvim when switching windows a lot

I'll still use command line vim often when I'm making quick edits but when I'm diving into a project I usually just fire up gvim and work in there.

How the fuck you plan on doing that?
A fully programmable editor (emacs) with a robust enough API would achieve this, only that you could implement every other editor inside of it.

>Modern acme

Having modern shit like ctrl+s to save in acme would violate the autism way because A: keyboards are only for text input except when B: the key macro is UNIX tradition. Having support for spaces in file names would add up to 50 lines of code and make acme bloated. Etc.

If acme is to be acme and not an insult to acme that makes everyone who would ever consider using such a pile of shit over emacs mad as hell, it must be shit.

A modern turbocharged 1.4l 4 banger can't keep up with a modern V8, or a modern turbocharged V8 for that matter. And that's for lightweight cars as opposed to vehicles primarily used for towing. Keep your shitbox to leisure laps on the burgerkingring, please.

The way I see it, this just opens it up to a wider range of people who have the skills required to build plugins and other customization's for it. I can understand to a point why some people don't like that line of thought but I personally think that's a great asset for it. Does it make the program more bloated that it would be on a more standard framework? Absolutely, but I think that's a worthwhile trade off and on any decent computer its going to make almost no perceivable difference.
