have fun with a text editor that ignores returns with utf-8 txt files.

notepad++

For simple edits I have notepad2-mod installed, for everything else I use VSCode.

ED(1) is the standard text editor.

emacs is rly bad.

I'm a big vi/vim guy, but I specifcally encourage people NOT to use vi/vim. I live alone with a cat and work graveyard, I am moridly obese and a severe alcoholic. I am always out of money and my life is awful. But goddam if if I don't use the best fucking editor there is: VIM.

There's legitimately a guy in my department that writes all his VHDL using notepad. I asked him about it and he just said that he doesn't like syntax highlighting or something.

He's right, syntax highlighting is juvenile. But every editor allows you to turn it off, you don't need notepad for that.

Pike is right on this one. Syntax coloring is only for base types, so it becomes useless as soon as you use a non-standard library anyways. It should be enough to highlight invalid tokens and bad parentheses in red.

Though I have to admit automatic indenting is even worse. It always imposes a horrendous convention that makes you want to puke like GNU.

It's from an age where memory was expensive and very limited, and undo history was too much of a burden to have more than one thing in it.

Gedit is better.

I'm stuck with it because I can't find an equivalent to its DSpellCheck plugin in any other editor. It has

False. It does proper highlighting, not just base types

KWrite
Vim

I like MIcrosoft Word for editing text because it can also edit documents.

What is the best text editor in terms of speed/IDE capabilities?
I want to do some web dev things but still be able to open any text file fast.
