What are some text-editing features that you find IntelliJ lacking?
- asdkhadsj 8y agoIt's more about the style of editing. Ie, right now I massively prefer Kakoune style editing. I choose that over Vim, despite Vim having much wider support. When compared to Vim, it's not about one specific "feature" that vim lacks, it's Vim, it has just about everything - it's about my editing UX, and vastly preferring how Kakoune does it. Now would I choose IntelliJ if it could perfectly replicate how Kakoune does editing? Without a doubt I'd choose IntelliJ. Yet I massively doubt that's even possible. Fwiw, I've been dying to use a GUI editor, but I cannot give up first class implementation of my text editing methodology of choice, be it vim, Kakoune, etc. It's not about "is it possible to do X", it's possible to do nearly everything in Notepad.
