Ask HN: Editor used by ninja devs.
YC startups developers : what is the text editor you use for modern Web development in general (php, ruby, python, javascritp, frameworks) and why?
- johnm 16y agoEmacs. Programmability.
- mhd 16y agoI sincerely hope that there's little overlap between the members of the Most Holy Church of Emacs and those heretics who like to affect terms like "ninja" and "rock star". TextMate seems to be rather popular in those camps (note: not meant as derogatory remark against TM users. Use it myself, and my last dalliance with ninja-ism involved tightey-whiteys, an mask improvised out of a towel and rubber shuriken)
- johnm 16y agoHa! Yeah, Emacs isn't sexy enough for the "cool" kids. Hahaha. Personally, I don't even notice all of those stupid adjectives any more. They are totally content-free.
- arnorhs 16y agoI'm not a ninja dev, so I frequent between a few editors. Mostly using gedit now w/ a few plugins but - scite is also good but you need to customize it a lot before it makes sense.
