Emacs vs Vim

>>60129199
Whichever suits you better

>>60129199
sublime text desu

>>60129199
Right

This. Vim is on almost every server you'll ever log into so its handy at least knowing that.

>>60129199
Having needed to use emacs for a semester, I found it awkward to use most of it's key bindings.

Probably will never use it again.

>>60129287
You know, I don't think most people that use emacs a lot use the default keybindings.

No.
Vi is, but not vim. Atleast that was my impression.
But it is handy to know a few vi commands

I mean, I guess emacs has evil-mode.

>>60129199
depends what you like better

>>60129319
Vi on modern servers is usually just an alias for vim.

>>60129353
There's nano too

>>60129472
Nobody uses nano.

>>60129680
If you are really opposed to learning those few vim keybinds, you could use that instead. But yeah, if you are spending significant amount of time outside of programming, vim is preferable. Otherwise, it's a matter of personal preference

>>60129472
There's micro too

>>60129199
Spacemacs you dumb fuck.

>>60129199
I never got the appeal of emacs. I just use vim.

>>60130742
emacs hotkeys are faster than vim modes for manipulating a single line. i use vim, but it is worth learning basic emacs hotkeys for readline prompts (e.g., bash). being able to manipulate words quickly is very helpful when composing shell commands, and readline's vim mode is psychotic

similarly, i use vim modes for controlling my browser but emacs hotkeys for text input

>>60129314
I use GNU EMacs a lot, and I use the default bindings.

Vim, but the real question is, should I switch?

>>60131292
switch to emacs yes you should

ed is the standard text editor

Fixed, there are a lot of modern servers that don't have Vim installed.

>I never got the appeal of emacs.
The appeal of Emacs is automating everything.

Emacs is to Vim what shell scripting is to typing out every single command in a Bash command line.

>>60129680
Lots of non-programmer arch Linux ricers do

>>60129472
There's ed too.

>>60129680
I'm using nano until I can understand emacs

>>60131505
Salut

>>60131690
Euh, salut.

>>60131505
Ugh those brackets and nextlines

>>60129216
proprietary

IDEs are better :^)

"Programs are not text; they are hierarchical compositions of computational structures and should be edited, executed, and debugged in an environment that consistently acknowledges and reinforces this viewpoint."

I call fake. What is this really?

>>60132192
so what like bluej?

vim
all
the
way
motherfucker
come at me freetards

>>60129680
I use it.

>>60132887
It's not a fake. It's ed wrapped in ledit (a better rlwrap).

>>60132192
>text != hierarchical compositions of computational structures
What is Turing completeness motherfucker
