Sublime Text 3

VSC > Atom > Notepad++

In terms of usability and extensibility.
I'm still using ST2 though because VSC is still lacking in many areas and Atom is borderline unusable.

VS Code

Compared to Atom it actually prioritizes performance and compared to Notepad++ it has a shit ton of features. I wish they put more effort into its C/C++ autocompletion and such though, but it's still one of the better modern text editors.

Obviously you can rice out Vim or Emacs to be better than it, but it makes installing extensions much easier than either of those and is nicer OOTB as well.

atom and neovim

>>57472679

Another vote for VSCode here. Most of Atom's yumminess but with good performance. My only complaint is the git integration only works when it feels like it.

What features in particular are you looking for, senpai?

>>57474261
mostly live preview (see realtime changes in the webpage as you edit it) and quick-edit (ctrl-E on an id/class pulls up all CSS rules associated with it, ctrl-E on a JS function name pulls up the function declaration).

the ability to preview images/colours by mousing over the code that specifies them is nice too, though I'd rather it be invoked by a shortcut.

Sublime is my favorite. It's fast, it has many features and many packages.

Atom and VSC are okay too, I consider them good alternatives to Sublime. The problem with them is that they're very slow and just don't feel as solid as Sublime.

Also, can you please stop giving this macfag attention?

>>57472843
I love using vscode, but am not a fan of Microsoft being able to view everything I code with it. Does that bug you at all?

I'm considering switching to atom

>>57475117
With Atom you have Google reading everything you write instead

You can just disable outbound traffic after you download the plugins you want?

>>57472679
nano

What is the best text editor that will work seamlessly across all operating systems?

I use vim/gvim on a linux distro. But attempting to get it setup on windows 10 was a huge pain in the ass. Notepad++ is great on windows but not anywhere else natively (I'm sure some run it with Wine).

Does anyone use one TE on different OSes, if so which one?

>>57475297
nano

>>57472679
Atom. But learn vim. Once you learn vim and become efficient with the commands you won't go back.

>>57472741

Sublime Text 3 as a text editor and Visual Studio whenever you need an IDE. Visual Studio Code is getting better with each update, but you're likely going to be unable to rely on it 100% until it's seen some more development.

Most other text editors are memes in comparison. In their defense, however, Package Manager and the associated community is the only thing that really sets Sublime Text apart from all these others everyone loves to shit on. You have whoever invented that gem to thank.

>>57475117
You can try

"telemetry.enableTelemetry": false

I'm not sure if you'll trust that though

>>57475967
>Most other text editors are memes in comparison.
Nah, most other commercial text editors are good in comparison.

>>57475980

Then give some examples for the thread's sake. A ton of the free ones that get thrown around don't even begin to compare imo (Atom's performance is miserable, Notepad++ just can't compete with so many community build features, etc) but if there are paid options I am unaware of, that could be useful to share with everyone.

I know there are many language specific, commercial IDEs which are ideal for that language, but if we're talking just text editors, ST3 can have as many or as little features as you want / need and runs very efficient even after dozens of addons are installed. The choice of themes is also, well--sublime.

> Disclaimer: ST3 isn't actually free but the trial "lasts indefinitely," so you can buy it whenever you're actually making money with your code

>>57475980
>paying for a color coded overglorified text editor

Why use a text editor over a good IDE with a debugger, compiler, and UI designer?

>>57476079

> paying

ST3 has an "infinite trial," but I still intend to buy it because I could not be more satisfied after probably 1,000 hours of coding while living off of a college budget.

VS Community and VS Code are both free, the latter is open source. Plus, any professional would be supplied with any version of VS they needed for free.

Really it just depends on what kind of programming you do (paid or unpaid).

>>57476052
>Then give some examples for the thread's sake.
Anon did in >>57475937, but there are probably more. I'm unsure about Komodo edit, though, as it may put the focus too much on programming.
When I mean good text editor I assume actual text editing, not poor programming: Being able to open and search in multiple 20+GB files. Memes like color themes come second to me, although most of them support that as well.

>Disclaimer: ST3 isn't actually free but the trial "lasts indefinitely," so you can buy it whenever you're actually making money with your code
They might as well make it free. Although, some WinRar is alive, too.

>not including emacs, vim, sublime text
vim or emacs are mostly personal preference and easily extensible both. Sublime has a nice community behind packages and it's cross-platform and not made by hipster SJW faggots like Atom.

All comes down to personal preference and how confortable are you to customize each one.

Atom for me is the worst offender of the bunch, just because you can write shit in js doesn't mean you have and you can do it. The same for the retards that made that stupid ass terminal emulator on node.js

Totally fair. For me, though, I do nothing but front-end (JS, object-oriented) right now and my text files don't even come close to reaching half a GB. For most people asking this question, they probably don't need emEdit. Color themes come second for me too, but still, if you're gonna spend 40+ hours a week staring at something...

Vim > Notepad++ > Atom

>>57476319
You don't have to move so quickly.
I suggest you install a nice GNU/Linux distribution and just start playing around with it whenever you have a few minutes. Instead of watching a youtube video or netflix show play around with your OS just for a few days so you can learn the intricacies of how it works, how the shell works, which tools are available and what does what. You can install your IDE in GNU/Linux as well, to help the transition.
At the same time you can start playing around with something like vim or emacs, and eventually you'll feel comfortable enough there and with your operating system and its tools that you will be able to simplify your workflow by virtue of being more comfortable with the environment. Slowly this will ween you off Windows (and IDEs, if you want to stray from them).

Personally I don't think an IDE is a horrible thing. I don't use them personally because I've taken the time and put in the effort to get very good with vim (you can pick up the basics in a few minutes though). If I was working on truly HUGE software projects like libreoffice or firefox I would probably be inclined to use an IDE to keep track of everything (especially if I have to work with others). For the type of programming I do (embedded and writing small utilities mostly), I don't need one. Your needs may vary.

It's more important to free yourself from Windows than from IDEs imo. The rest will follow in due course if your programming style allows it.

>>57476403
>anon, do you ever want to get paid to program? If so, realistically, you don't want to listen to that man

>>57476445

I program in C++, C#, and JS, along with all the web shit that's usually a given. Two of those are, strictly speaking, object oriented languages. Sorry if it read like I only program in JS.

That being said, a lot of JS frameworks take an object oriented approach to development these days.

>>57476449
Definitely keep up to date with things. More knowledge is always better than less, which is why I'm asking why he would be restricted to Windows. I used Windows for many years and still have to deal with it at work most of the time (usually in a virtual machine), and I use GNU/Linux for getting my actual work done at work and at home. I'm even pretty good with some of the BSDs and with OS X/macOS. The more you know the better. Nobody should feel like doors are closed to you because they only know Windows. It's up to them to diversify their knowledge. As it turns out, people who get good with unixes/unices usually do not like working with Windows because it gives them much less control over their machine.

>>57476458
You should dive in. It's hard to pick things up if you have to go back and forth. You've been using Windows your whole life. Force yourself to use Ubuntu or whatever distro you want for a whole week (find ways to do everything you normally do, don't give up or default to wine for everything. There are usually very nice ways to do everything you could possibly want to do, you just have to spend some time searching for them sometimes. /fglt/ or ##linux on freenode are pretty good for this.

>>57476522

Okay, "restricted" makes more sense. I would recommend to anyone that they should dive into Linux and even fuck around on a Macbook if they have one available, but I would also recommend to most people that they start out on Windows because of its broad use. I'm also surprisingly happy with the Windows 10 environment right now (it's a shame the whole OS is built on spyware, but what can you do).

I totally respect people who are more acclimated to Linux and I should probably carve out some time soon to revisit a lot of shit. Advising him to dive in for a week is great advice.

>>57475117
The thing is open source. If it was a privacy concern your distro's package maintainer would have removed those features from the code. (And if you downloaded it from Microsoft's site, you can audit the code yourself. Look for POST requests to the internet and work backwards from there.)

I better not be getting memed again.
I'm downloading ST3 and coding my projects in that because VS sucks cocks.

emacs, just because I was already using it for org-mode. Added some additional functionality, like number highlighting. Why does it not ship with that?

>>57478995
Editors like Sublime Text or Atom will have the same number of functions on control keys that Vim has in modal editing.

Sublime Text 3
Visual Studio's editor
Vim
Emacs

Gedit

In that order.

I use emacs exclusively, but I feel very comfortable saying that it's just not a good editor. It fucking sucks. It's built on layers of weird abstractions that allow it to continue working in a post-hardware-terminal-and-tape-reel world, but it's still convinced that it lives there. The keyboard commands suck, but because they're the default, literally every emacs-based addon is built using them. Elisp is monumentally shitty, and I've been a lisp programmer for around two years now.

The only reason emacs is "good" is because of its ecosystem. There's just too many addons that haven't been replicated in other editors. I mean, if I want to program in my Lisp language of choice I have no other option besides emacs.

>>57473036

Atom is fancy. It's a bit slow to start up though, so for quick editing of a file, it's annoying. Notepad++ is fast + basic.

Right now I just have Atom installed to use for working on something and then just open up Windows Notepad for the quick edits. Might just grab Notepad++ again, it's hard to decide.

No offense I'm just curious. Thanks.

On windows, I use notepad++. Big disadvantage of npp is shitty hexeditor plugin, otherwise it got a pretty solid feature set, giving you just what you need, without crap.

Many of the meme editors are too bulky for my preference, they have all those editing features which are only useful at specific times, and you're probably not gonna remember about them when you encounter the right situation.

On linux I use joe (Joe's Own Editor), which is a single-mode text editor, much like nano. This editor also has a shitty hex mode.

Imo emacs and vim are more like scripting languages than text editors. People fucking code golf on vim. If you can code golf on a fucking text editor, then you know it's not meant for editing, it's meant for memes.

When I actually work on some project I use appropriate IDE like msvs or kdevelop.

Fucking hate these cunts that feel the need to inject their ideologies into their work. That immigrant can get fucked.

our school issued computers came with emacs by default and you can't install anything on them without going to an administrator and filling out a forum asking them to install something for you. I'm just used to notepad++, though in all honesty they are all pretty similar if you do basic python programming

new to programming and curious about VIM

what does VIM offer over other text editors? thanks in advance

I hate these thread so much

There is no better you moron, it depends on what you're doing.

Do you really want to write C# code for the ASP.NET framework and deploy to Azure using NOTEPAD? No you stupid fuck, you want Visual Studio, because you have a life and don't want to spend 48 hours figuring out how to manually build your solution and deploy it rather than using an INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

Holy fuck you're all retarded, google is literally a CTRL + T away but nope, just gotta go to /g/ and make shitty threads

Vim is everywhere. Can find it on most Unix based machines, even on things like Amiga.

Vim is fast. If you are the type who wants everything in your computer to be as snappy as you are, fly vim (plugins can hinder this.)

Vim is extensible. Great ecosystem on github for plugins and with vim-plug or others they are a command away. Anything from really heavy syntax based completion engines to lightweight extensions to vanilla vim.

Vim is established. Vim has been around forever and looks like it is here to stay for a good while at the very least in the deployment and embedded worlds. You're putting time into something that will outlast your new IDEs.

Vim is free. Free and non-pirated helps when you want to have a stable environment. Also it can get your Stallman rocks off if that is your thing.

>>57486613
simple and portable. Most machines have it preinstalled so once you learn it it's a breeze to use on any other system. Its pretty spartan and I think its a good habit to being using as little as you need to get stuff down. Then you can learn shortcuts as you go along which will boost your speed a ton. I've seen somebody mention stuff about atomaticity when you're going in and out of insert mode making edits, and I find that's pretty true. And it makes you look hardcore

Lot of great points that I hadn't considered; thanks based anons

That doesn't mean it's better though.

>>57487056
Not directly but it has some benefits in things like a well manicured help system.

Certainly it doesn't directly make the interface better. Maybe something like vis or one of the new ambitious text editor projects will take off. I've sunk some time into Vim and couldn't be more pleased with how it operates in comparison to what I've used in the past.

Learning to type is more important than any tooling.

(g)vim but I'd like a simple text editor (but powerful enough) like notepad++ for Linux, I use gedit for this but it's undeniably worse.
The killer features are speed with giant files, regexp support, folding and automatic session restore, gedit has none of these.
I've found memories of kwrite/Kate but not using KDE anymore sadly

>>57487543
Why not gvim? Has all of those things

gedit

it has literally everything you need for 99% of programming

every other editor is on the autism spectrim
with emacs and vim being the worst
I can appreciate that it's fun to dig into it and customize literally every part of it
but most people just want a clean editor that you can type easily into

>>57487573
I use it but just like normal vim with easier copypasting betweeb the system clipboard and a more pleasant colorscheme (I can't be arsed to configure a special snowflake terminal emulator).
Does it really can restore unsaved files? I see there are save/restore session buttons but how can it be automated like notepad++?

A proper IDE made for that language
eg Android Studio for Android Development or Komodo for Python development

intredasting. why do you think an IDE is better?

>>57487871
Usually for the nice debugging tools and utilization

I'm an idiot

>>57487934
* utilization of screen space with file trees

>>57487796
It has restoring on by default by using swapfiles. You can also enable automatic backups. I personally don't screw with swapfiles. As for resuming the session, there are session files as well as two plugins for sessions obsession and prosession that work together.

>>57487934
debugging tools alone give IDE's an edge, let along their utility in collaborative environments

>>57488001
But in android development they're real handy

one of my bro-bros and me use this word too, where did we all get it from?

silly question

why does everyone uses black backgrounds on text editors??

>>57488147
jeez man watch movie sometime

>>57488147
I think if you use highlighting in your code, black backgrounds can make the contrast less harsh/ more effective

>>57488147
They're too elite for normal light backgrounds.

>>57488174
you mean that black background equals to epik hax0r???

>>57488147
Easy on eyes. Get a job and you'll notice the big difference it makes

>>57488147
High contrast but less eye strain because you're not staring at a bright light all day.
