having spent decades with nano, transitioning to emacs was a revelation. the extensibility, the vast array of packages - it was like stepping into a whole new world.
but then came vscode. it felt like the best of both worlds - simplicity when you need it, complexity when you want it. plus, the integrations and extensions are top-notch.
Also lately I've been a bit spoiled by Visual Studio enterprise at work, thinking to buy a personal license
I mean don't get me wrong, i have a soft spot for nano. there's something about its minimalism that's just...comforting. but functionality-wise, it doesn't hold a candle to emacs or vscode.
that said, i'm intrigued by micro. it promises modern features while staying true to nano's philosophy. if it delivers, maybe i'll find myself switching yet again.
