I honestly don't get why people use Atom or even VS code for that matter. Vim and emacs come shipped with many systems, have good plugins, and are waaaay faster

- esyir 7y agoBecause they have a steep learning curve, were not designed with guis in mind and require extensive customization.
- jonny383 7y agoI'm a vim user for a lot of things, but there's some things that are just not as good. For example, auto-completion is definitely better in VS Code or Atom. Although, vim is improving in this respect with things like coc.nvim, they are still a _nightmare_ to setup.
- troycarlson 7y agoEver tried YouCompleteMe? I love it for Ruby, Python, JavaScript.
- jonny383 7y agoI've used YouCompleteMe extensively for a couple of years. The only language I thought it was nearly as good as these "full" web editors was TypeScript.
- abricot 7y agoVim key combinations are awful for many non-US keyboard layouts. Many combinations can't even be done (you can't hold down shift twice for examble)
- ChymeraXYZ 7y agoa) You are free to rebind everything, b) In my experience when coding (most common use case for vim I think) most non-US keyboard layouts are miserable to use anyways..., c) Use what works for you!
- villgax 7y agoGUI & extensions for the most part. VSCode is way faster than Atom & licensing allows it to be used in commercial settings unlike Sublime.
- s17n 7y agoAs a current emacs, former vim user, vscode is better. I use emacs as a hobby because I'm interested in it, not because it's more productive, because it's not.
