According to this person, KWrite is better than Emacs and Emacs is a bug. In my opinion, this makes his post a little less credible. The rules that he suggests we all learn for how to use tabs and spaces in a file are helpful, but only when you're forced to use tabs. Otherwise, using spaces is always easier when you have to share your code with people that are not required to use KWrite.
- cabalamat 17y agoI personally use kwrite. That doesn't mean it's "better" than emacs, just that I prefer it. Editor use is an indiviual choice, and people are more productive when using the editor of their choice. Similarly, people are more productive when using the indentation style of their choice. I like 3 or 4 spaces of indenting, and I find using 8 spaces makes the code hard to read. Other people have different preferences. It seems to me that the best way to accomodate everyone on a multiple-developer project is to require that code is run through a formatting utility before being checked in, and to allow people to use similar utilities to format it when checking it out and editting it.
