Anyone else think it's weird they used the term "text editor" ~100x in that article but what they're actually just comparing IDEs.
It's weird to read an article comparing the most popular "text editors" of all time and not have one mention Microsoft Word... I'd expect notepad, open office docs and pages to get honerable mentions on such a list.
- bigDinosaur 6y agoIt's just a disparaging term for people who think that good software comes only from a full IDE. To be fair though, MS Word is a lot more than a text editor, e.g. you don't save its documents as text documents but as bundles of style/layout/text/fonts.
