I tried out many text editors and settled down on Vim, the reason being every other text editor eats way too much of my battery, I'd tolerate a few less advanced features, as long as my laptop runs for 8hrs on a single charge. Plus, did anyone else notice that the file icon for Rust code is of Visual studio code, in the second photo.
- rawland 10y ago+1 The battery lifetime argument made me stick to vim, too. Oddly enough, I recently tend to use VSCode when being attached to AC. It really seems that Microsoft gets this more and more right. They even added the Minimap after listening to their users. Let me repeat: Microsoft. Listening. To. Users! Still can't believe it. However, my main argument for VSCode are side by side previews: Eases writing, while pleasing the eye. Vim simply isn't made for this.
- thewhitetulip 10y agoI love VSCode, have been using it before it was 1.0 version, but sadly, it is always "using significant energy" in Mac, same is the case with every. other. editor. except vim!! Even I can't believe that MS is running a famous FOSS project and they actually listen to users, times are great :-) Still, vim = awesome.
