Very cool. I thought Nano would perform much better..?
A problem with some fast editors might be ease of use. For instance, I would have loved to try out JOE editor, but I couldn't find builds, the code is hosted on Sourceforge, etc. etc.
I think a huge feature for an editor is usability: is there a website where I can download a build for my OS? Does it update by itself? Is it easy to configure, install plugins, etc.?
- zeptomu 9y agoAssuming you are on a proper OS, it comes with your distribution, e.g. via Ubuntu it's just $ apt install joe And it's ready (obviously you might want to configure it differently than the default).
- mikejmoffitt 9y agoI agree with you about a package manager being a good OS feature, but this is unnecessary snark when the two most popular operating systems don't come with a package manager (of this sort, at least).
- a_t48 9y agoFor what it's worth, `sudo apt install joe` works fine on my windows machine. :)
- mikejmoffitt 9y agoJoke aside, that didn't install a Windows program, and I'm willing to bet the WSL wasn't installed by default either, and I'll also bet that didn't work in a Windows command prompt.
- EpicEng 9y agoSo "proper" as in "the one(s) almost no one uses"?
- pselbert 9y agoYou can install JOE on macOS through homebrew. Running "brew install joe" begins installing version 4.4
- nkkollaw 9y agoNice. Thanks.
