I use vim (text editor), curl (download from internet (many protocols) and can be piped; can also send), xclip (command-line clipboard access by pipes), dc (calculation), grep, 7z (supports many file formats), and the SQLite command shell. I also use less, bash, gcc, gdb, valgrind, dosbox, Ghostscript, and many others. I also wrote my own programs for some things; for example, I have my own set of programs for dealing with picture files (Farbfeld Utilities), but I also have ImageMagick in case of something that Farbfeld Utilities does not currently do; I have made programs for other things too. (Of course, I use many other programs too.) (Unfortunately, some of them use Unicode even though I do not want them to (others do not have that problem), and sometimes requires writing extra code to work around them (other times I am working only with ASCII and it is not a problem).)
- Zhyl 4y agoDo you also program in lisp by any chance?
- zzo38computer 4y agoNo; I mainly program in C. (I do use other programming languages too.)
- LukeShu 4y agoAll of the parens and I can see why you would say that, but no lisper would use Vim!
- chr 4y agoFrom http://www.paulgraham.com/pfaq.html http://www.paulgraham.com/pfaq.html What editor do you use? vi. At least his x- and y-yearold may rebel by using emacs.
- anonymoushn 4y agocurl and ffmpeg are pretty good. real swiss army knives.
- yread 4y agoHave you tried libvips? I've found it much more pleasant to use than ImageMagick. And the maintainer has insanely short response time
- dontbenebby 4y ago+1 for vi, I emacs is hard to use and I don't want to tote some customization file around to every box I log into :-)
- smcn 4y agoIf they're remote boxes, you can Emacs over SSH using TRAMP. You'll take your configurations to each new server.
