Text Editors

Sublime Text is the best, unless you're a terminal diehard, in which case you're using vim.

>Proprietary anything
Are you serious?

>>60641181
What is the cons to sublime?

>>60641202
It costs, unless you just abuse the unlimited trial or just download a cracked version.

Notepad++ is so good I wish it was on linux.

OP you already found the best one.

>>60641161
gnu emacs, spacemacs

>>60641207
Or you can use the CIA license https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_9535650.html

Atom
inb4 it's shit

>>60641207
what do you pay for in the licensed verision?

>>60641246
>Electron
It's shit.

>>60641261
The software license.

>>60641270
what features comes with the full verision that the trail doesnt have?

>>60641305
Nothing.

>>60641305
The only difference between trial and licensed is licensed won't bother you every so often to buy it when saving the file.

>>60641314
does it do anything better than notepad++?

>>60641395
How about you fucking try it?

>>60641401
Its easier to just ask them why i would use it.

>>60641232
this, having it for free actually makes you realize its not that special either.

>>60641161
I'm also a noob that has been looking for a new editor, OP. I tried vim the people who say it's easier than emacs are lying. Emacs actually has a much better learning curve. You can be productive in Emacs RIGHT after you finish their little tutorial. Don't use vim

>>60641516
what about spacemacs, is there any real reason to use it at all?

>>60641232
Isn't that limited to 10 users?

>>60641540
No, just learn emacs, don't try to turn it into vim unless you're already used to vim

regular notepad you dumbasses, nobody cares about your tab completion or w/e

>>60641635
well thanks for the recommendation.

>>60641557
I used it 2 days ago and it worked.

>>60641730
Now I'm curious to try it out and to see if Sublime actually reaches out to some sort of an activation server or if the license numbers are a gentleman's agreement.

Atom. It's Sublime but free and overall nicer to use.

>>60641836
what if don't want to read anymore?

>>60641516
Their learning curves are different. Once you understand the fundamentals of vim you quickly become very productive.
While Emacs is easier to use right away, its learning curve continues climbing on into infinity. There is an absurd amount of functionality built in and everything from the ground up is completely programmable. It took me a lot longer to feel like I truly understood Emacs, compared to Vim, however, once you do there is no turning back.

This question could also have been asked in >>>/g/sqt

>>60641873
Yeah sure but you don't need most of emacs' functionality anyway, I'm already coding much faster than I did in Vim

>>60641836
It's also laggy.

>>60641932
Is there anything I could do to replicate the lag? Have genuinely never come across this.

>>60641263

I've started using vim since last week.
I installed nerdtree and coding ruby(RoR).

>>60641161
Don't listen to these losers. Sublime is great. Every now and then when you save your file a pop-up says you need to buy a license, but you can just keep hitting cancel and use it forever.

Plus it's actually worth the $60 or whatever it costs for the license. It's literally the best non-CLI text editor on the planet.

Because if you want to change it you have to prove that you are a competent programmer.

Don't know why you haven't heard of it.

>>60641161
Programmer's Notepad.

I use it mainly because it's lightweight and fast. It's not plugin hell like other editors.

>>60641991
no it's fucking not. i tried to switch to atom from sublime, but it's so goddamn slow. i can understand that it's nice that you can customize it more or whatever, but who gives a fuck?

>>60646307
how is that color scheme for autists or children... if i hear autistic children i think of dark themes

>>60646326
Nano isn't even the best terminal editor.
I can see why it should be default over vi as you can use it without any training and everyone who prefers vi can change the default themselves.

But nano is not a good editor by any means.

>thinly veiled shitposting thread

Here's the list:
>vim/emacs
Useful editors, but with a learning curve. Also choosing one makes people from the other camp automatically hate you.
>notepad++
Low-tech notepad replacement. Superseded by pretty much everything.
>sublime
Editor with many options, but proprietary. Stallman will hate you for using this.
>atom
OMFG WE CAN'T MAKE DESKTOP PROGRAMS USING HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT CALL THE COPS It's actually not that bad of an editor, with many options. Not proprietary in contrast to sublime.
>Visual Studio Code
Proprietary, may or may not be botnet. Frequently shilled on /g/, don't fall for it.
>kate, gedit, and other such linux text editors
Basic bitch editors in case you need absolutely 0 help in programming.
>others
Either specialized for one task only or too obscure to give a fuck about.

Take your pick.

>>60641161
>macvim w/ powerline

>>60641161
Gedit

>>60646744
>Stallman will hate you for using this.
Good. I hate Stallman.

>>60641232

Sounds like you never used either.
Kate is closer to what most people spend years configuring vim to be.
Granted, the learning curve is not that steep, but I don't think it is a bad thing that most people can instantly use an editor and then learn a few extra things to improve the experience.
If you want to argue against them, you could claim that they come with too many features out of the box, where with vim, you build more yourself, but calling them basic while praising atom and sublime makes you seem like a shill.
Saying you don't know certain applications is fine, if everybody switched editor once a year, a lot less work would get done.

>>60641836
>downloading a full webshit browser to edit text files slower than with vim

>>60642732
uninstall nerdtree and just use netrw

>>60645602
And how many hours of configuration would I need to get my emacs editor to act like this?

>>60646703
It's lightweight and not extensible so it works the same way everywhere.

Also, you can't even quit vim without looking it up.

>>60646744
VSCode is a free software (MIT), dear retard
