Jetbrains IDE is great. I use Eclipse for Java.
But emacs is my go to editor.
It has his weak points but I find myself always keeping it fired up and using it for any text editing that doesn't require a large IDE.
I just wish there was a site to setup Emacs as the ideal IDE for say:
- Javascript
- Python
- Django
...
- Walkman 11y agothere is: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs There is a Django layer in it, you can start runserver witha keystroke, open settings.py with another keystroke, run all tests, etc..
- curiousdude99 11y agoSeriously, people should stop over customizing their .emacs.d . I use mostly default (community) config from Spacemacs and it works just fine. You can use both vi keybinding and emacs keybinding at the sametime in Spacemacs. I reduced 2k+ lines init.el config to about 200 lines in Spacemacs.
- curiousdude99 11y agoSpacemacs is a better Emacs with Vi keybinding and preconfigured programming modes for major languages.
- znpy 11y agoI used to write small Java MIDlets using just GNU Emacs because the laptop I was using at the time was too old and slow to run NetBeans. I have to say that since the Javadoc format for documentation is the best format ever, I was productive anyway. Actually, it made me get very very quick at browsing documentation and appreciate it. Also, by browsing documentation manually, I got to discover many neat stuff within the default-provided Java packages. ... Did you know you can do neat stuff with java.awt.Robot? ;)
