Is this sarcasm? "rule the developer world" when Emacs/Vim still exist and are much more portable and battle tested?

- Johnny_Brahms 9y agoAs an Emacs enthusiast I agree with that (GP's) statement. VScode is usable for everyone from the start yet is capable to grow just like vim and in most meaningful ways just like Emacs. I have a feeling that this approachability is what will win in the end. It won't win me over, but my investment in Emacs can be measured in over 50kb of elisp code :)
- romanovcode 9y agoCurrently VS Code "rules the developer world" much more then Emacs and Vim combined so the OP is actually correct. Most developers do not care to learn VIM/Emacs, myself included.
- bpicolo 9y agoDoesn't look like it. https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2017#technology-most-popular-developer-environments-by-occupation https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2017#technology-mo... I like VS code, but emacs and vim both have healthy, large user bases. Unless the only definition of a developer is "people writing SPAs"
- monsieurbanana 9y agoI... huh... I'm not sure what to say here. However statistics don't lie. Good bye 77kb emacs config, good bye editors wars. I enjoyed trolling you, VIM users, but today I saw the light. I'm moving to Notepad++.
