pic related. Version 9.0 fixed the slowdowns, and now you can wirelessly build on devices.

Feels great.

atom with prettier

>>61132560
visual studio is shit

Why would you need a GUI for a text editor?

>>61132657
Thats good to hear. I was thinking of messing around with swift, but Xcode8 sucks pretty bad.

>>61132962
explain
>>61132974
because not everyone likes CLI text editors

>>61132560
Gvim

>>61132988
You don't need xcode to mess with swift.

>>61132994
Not that Anon.
Visual studio code is a really dumbed down ide. It's basically on the level of Atom. Trying to go from the real visual studio to visual studio code is painful.
That said, I use vim for an ide.

If Atom actually used electron well.

>>61133022
vim isn't an ide, it's an editor. it has extremely little IDE intelligence unless you haul on some really intense extensions.

font name pl0x

>>61132560
someone fix the Vim plugin in this shit.. its bugged as fuck!!!!!!!!

otherwise, no complaints

>>61132560
I like IDEA for scala development, the community edition works for everything that I need. Every other language I don't use an IDE

>>61132560
Emacs

>>61132560
Sublime/Geany

>>61135786
IDEA is not a text editor, it's a full-scale IDE(and probably the one with the most features for Java)

>>61132560
gVim

>>61132988
Swift is opensource now, you can compile and run Swift on Linux

>>61132998
>>61135920
gvim is the only reasonable answer
But really, for editing text and viewing code you are ok even with something like Mousepad,

>GUI

i really like sublime text 3

and its more or less free as in gratis, thanks to wikileaks

Atom or visual studio.

I used to use vim and probably would again for certain jobs if I bothered to reacclimate to it.

Typing speed is rarely a bottleneck though ;)

>>61132560

Gedit. Doesn't have so many features as VSC, but it's much faster at basic stuff, so I like it. Has syntax highlight for a ton of languages out of the box, unlike VSC.

>>61132560
I like kate.
Easy to extend with javascript for simple things and C++ for more advanced things

>>61135631
What doesn't work for you? I've only used VScode for a few days but think the vim plugin is pretty okay

>>61132974
A GUI lets you view the text while you are writing.
Using a text editor without a GUI is horribly outdated and there is no reason to do that today.

Which GUI you want in your text editor is a different question.

the vim extension (the most popular one) bugs out in multicursor mode.

it starts flashing like retarded and deletes random words inbetween the cursors.

>>61138622
Oh right. In like 5 years of using vim I never used multicursor, so I have no idea. Is it even a vim feature?

>>61132560
>Text-editor
Notepad++

>>61132560
emacs

>>61133022
>It's basically on the level of Atom
It is a fork of Atom.

>>61132560
Sublime, the minimap got me..

>>61135307
SF

>>61135307
It's probably SF Mono.

>>61138818
VS Code has that too.

i use vim as i can edit text extremely effectively by utilizing every keystroke required for quicker edits

Tried VS Code, went back to Sublime. Phtml breaks VS Code theming so I can't use it. Also feels so heavy and sluggish compared to Sublime.

Sublime 3 is still god

>>61138718
no, its native vscode feature which gets hijacked by the vim extension and is bugged now

sublime text
