Use vim or emacs not feasible? not desirable? If most of the greatest programmers use them, if you're a wannabe programmer how would you not use these tools? It's like willing to be a cowboy but for thanks to the horse and the gun...
- pjc50 10y agoIf you're writing C# you'll be much faster with intellisense and autocomplete. It's quite amazing how much help it is, especially before you reach expert level. Occasionally you encounter weird toolchains where some stuff is much more convenient to do from the IDE, so you end up editing files in emacs then having Quartus or Vivado open to look at their reports. (People should be a bit more specific about their working environment before confidently declaring the best way to do things!)
- falcolas 10y agoCowboys have evolved. Many use ATVs and only infrequently have to use a gun. The hat has stuck around, though - great protection against the sun. I've attempted to write Java using VIM. I've even been moderately successful. But it's still easier to do with Eclipse or Intellij.
