Given that emacs (and I expect vim) can do all of that and then some, for languages both static and dynamic while taking a fraction of the resources of a monolithic IDE and permitting to use the same editor across all your projects, it seems that your only actual problem is that the default configs are not to your taste.
- cageface 14y agoMy laptop can run a full-featured IDE (IntelliJ) without breaking a sweat and it supports all the languages I need and then some. I guess I could go back to trying to hack together an IDE in emacs or vim with a bunch of buggy, half-supported third party plugins that interoperate poorly if at all, but why?

I've had a quad-core desktop chug under Eclipse (employer required I use it) and still had to fall back to a real editor regularly. > I guess I could go back to trying to hack together an IDE in emacs or vim with a bunch of buggy, half-supported third party plugins that interoperate poorly if at all, but why? Well, mostly people use the well-maintained, integrated, and first-party ones instead. Each to his own, I suppose!
- modarts 14y ago"real editor"? As opposed to what?
- Ralith 14y agoAs opposed to IDEs, which are characterized by having tightly constrained domains and weak editing features beyond whatever language-specific functionality they bloat up their GUIs with.
- modarts 14y agoAn editing environment that makes it easy to develop in a specific domain doesn't make it any less "real" than any other environment.
