Why use vim when atom exists? Atom editor and plugins are

Can I use it in a terminal? (no window mode)

Why use <any editor except GNU Emacs> when GNU Emacs exists?

Lol

why use atom when VSCode exists?

because then you'd be using Emacs

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little proprietry bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the FSF, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Apple patents, and I have over 300 confirmed bug fixes. I am trained in Free Software Evangelizing and I'm the top code contributer for the entire GNU HURD. You are nothing to me but just another compile time error. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am building a GUI using GTK+ and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can decompile you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my Model M. Not only am I extensively trained in EMACS, but I have access to the entire arsenal of LISP functions and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit Freedom all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking debugged, kiddo.

org-mode is the only reason I started using emacs. IMO, it's not worthwhile to learn emacs if you're not going to be using org-mode.

>>59544201
i use it when i code on bash on ubuntu on windows. glad that i learned it

for actual programming i just use gedit mostly

>>59545157
Why? it just works

It's lightweight ,it can search for text, it can cut, it can go to a line, it can colour shit

I don't see why i'd need more

>>59545222
It's fine for basic sysadmin stuff. I find it a bit limited for programming after using emacs a long time.

>>59544201
Atom is not fast by any means

I have used emacs before, i liked it

But i still had no reason to use all that extra stuff

Although I would say vscode = sublime = vim. They're all good, they're just different.

>>59545296
I learned it just for org-mode, long before I was doing any programming. I couldn't find anything else that works how I need.

Mate I use Atom with vim mode, I know how bad of an editor Atom is.

Why do Windows codemonkeys get assblasted that people use Vim?

I use Sublime on Ubuntu
rate my life based on those facts

>>59545432
Because it just werks. I got it for free from uni and my only other choice was some shitty dell latitude.

Hol up do people not use pen and paper for writing code? I then scan it and have an algorithm convert it to text.

sure faster, buddy.

I don't really get the "atom is so slow!!" meme. My memebook pro 2015 with 8gigs of ram and a skylake i7 opens any documents in like 2 secs.
Well, I should mention I use it for html and web development in general, not for any real programming languages besides js maybe.
Never noticed any slowdowns or delays or crashes in my 3 month usage.

You ever have to ssh into a machine? vi/vim comes in handy then.

Why would I use a text editor over an IDE for programming?

>>59548159
Yeah, I expected someone to bash js when writing it out. While it sucks, some interactive shit in web development can only be done with javascript these days.
Meme it however you like, but it does its job, even if inefficient and slow.

>>59548324
a) slower and leaner
Eclipse takes like 5 seconds to start up, and there's a shitton of stuff that takes 0.5-1 second to complete after you trigger it. Sublime text is smooth as balls, unless you're trying to search for something in like 10k files at the same time.

b) for meme languages
Unfortunately JS is becoming insanely popular, but due to its "anything goes" nature it's almost impossible to build static analysis tools for it. So an IDE basically has zero advantage over a text editor for things like that.

c) for customisability
You can make Vim behave like Eclipse, but you can also make it behave like Sublime, or you can have your own nutjob config. Or you can incorporate stuff from each of those, e.g. Sublime's keyboard shortcut scheme together with Eclipse's general Java code tools.

You can't, however, make Eclipse or Netbeans work like VScode or vim, because they were designed a certain way, and while there may be plugins, a large amount of functionality is still set in stone.

Nice edit, if that is your work

>used to nano because it's easy to use

>slowly grow to like vi more than nano

It usually goes like this:

First you start with some IDE/editor like Gedit, Notepad++, Dreamweaver, Visual Studio. It wont take a while until you realize you have cancer.

Then when proficient you move for a while to Nano, mg, maybe Sublime text or Atom.

If you are retarded you keep with Sublime text or Atom, if you want to be a cool kid you move to vim or Emacs.

Current setup is Emacs for work/desktop, my .emacs has around 15k lines of elisp, I am even friends with some of the mantainers of GNU Emacs. mg for ssh editing or places where I can't use my Emacs.

If you prefer vim over Emacs, you can still use evil-mode inside it.
