This was my observation before actually reading the post... a reaction to the title. If you visit the actual site you will see that the author points out that the use of "post-modern" is intended to be a joke (which I quite like, lol): From an art perspective "postmodern" would be something that challenged the concept of modernism. That would be work based on idealism and reason vs that based on scepticism and suspicion of reason. Since that doesn't really apply to this editor perhaps this editor is simply a modern editor?
- beepbooptheory 5y agojust a nit-pick but I would push back on the notion that the only thing that came to challenge modernity was neo-Idealism, neo-Rationality. I have never seen any one really define post-modernism that way, and in fact such things are just as challenged by postmodernity! Postmodernity is first and foremost a loose collection of tendencies post-WWII. I also agree its cute that its a little joke. maybe something that makes/or would make it a true PoMo editor is an effort in juxtaposing modern vscode-IDE stuff onto an older terminal aesthetic
