Honestly ppl: vim or emacs - the rest is fluff
- SanchoPanda 7y agoSublime is fluff?

- kirubakaran 7y agoOr both, with Spacemacs. I'm all in on Emacs though.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoI had a coworker who couldn't understand why people didn't just use emacs. I figured he was just cocky or he just didn't understand people in general. The huge downside of emacs is it's Huge learning curve. The rest is not fluff because the rest roughly have zero curve.
- samatman 7y agoVim... does not have a zero learning curve. For me, the huge downside of emacs is the not-very-fast single-threaded virtual machine with dynamic scope and one huge global namespace. It does an incredible number of cool things, some of them you can't find anywhere else, but I always end up bailing for an editor where I can reliably type and have characters show up instantly.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoSlight error, yes vim has a learning curve.
- DonHopkins 7y agoVim also has modes. But I guess you've never heard of Larry Tesler or Jeff Raskin, either.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoI actually (honestly) haven't heard of them. Are they your programming idols? Are they beyond reproach? Do you worship them and snark at anyone who criticizes there ideas?
- DonHopkins 7y agoObviously you've also never heard of google.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoYeah (Obviously)
- DonHopkins 7y agoSo when you said "(honestly)", you actually meant "(dishonestly)", correct? Do you also "(honestly)" believe Trump was being sarcastic when he told everyone to inject bleach?
- crimsonalucard 7y agostop, we're done.
- DonHopkins 7y agoVim has a very short learning curve, because the only command you need to learn is ":q!".
