While I do agree that VS Code is nothing revolutionary, suggesting Vim and Emacs are superior at this day and age makes no sense. Becoming effective at using these editors is very hard and not practical when there are so many other things any engineer worth their salt has to worry about. Most plugin systems for these tools are a nightmare. Vim has about three or four different plugin solutions and they all have different caveats.
- Skinney 11y agoWhile I agree with regards to Vim, I don't really see how Emacs is hard and impractical. It doesn't have modal editing, you just open a file and write, and the plugin system is built-in. I do, however, agree with you. Mostly because you can customize Atom and VSCode to have all the same benefits as Emacs and Vim. Except for running them in the console, which I know some people like having the option of doing.
