And they're all mediocre when compared to Vim/Emacs (and these are both inferior to Spacemacs which actually combines these two.)
Why isn't everyone using Spacemacs then?
Visual Studio is much, much slower than all of them yet its still an incredibly popular IDE for some reason. It has endless flaws, one of them being its still 32-bit and often crashes on larger projects. (The last game I ported to the PSVita would hang VS for minutes sometimes, often ending with out-of-memory errors, we'd reboot VS between every profiling session.)
For a good chunk of users, features and ease of use are more important than performance (especially when most of the time it really, really doesn't matter for an editor.)
- rvern 10y agoPeople use Visual Studio instead of Vim or GNU Emacs because there's much more marketing and advertising being done for Visual Studio.
