Yeah I used to use Atom. I know Vim is what I should use for "lean" but it's not easy to use. I did see some pretty themes 'space wrap' or something like that.

- khedoros1 10y ago> I know Vim is what I should use for "lean" but it's not easy to use. It's easy to use, but it's not easy to learn.
- ge96 10y agoThe ol' learning curve
- icebraining 10y agoThere are plenty of "mid-range" editors and IDEs: mousepad, gedit, geany, kate..
- ge96 10y agoI recently tried Geany as the chromebook I bought is ARM-based so VS code wouldn't work on it. It's alright.
- stirner 10y agoVim is well known for its bloated, messy codebase. I'd hardly call it "lean".
- thomastjeffery 10y agoIt's a messy C codebase, which is orders of magnitude leaner than a clean electron codebase.
- ge96 10y agoI wasn't aware, I just think it's command line so it must be "lean" right? No GUI. I don't know.
- thomastjeffery 10y agos/Vim/EMACS/ and you're correct. Unless you want to learn Vi, Vim is not what you want; rather EMACS is what you want, and I will agree wholeheartedly that it is "not easy to use."
- amyjess 10y agoI always recommend Kate to people who want a programmer's editor but don't want to deal with the esotericness of Vim. (I personally alternate between both Kate and Vim, depending on whether I'm in more of a GUI or a CLI mood)
