What about something like sublime text 2? You can't really use it via a shell, so would you end up running in a full Ubuntu install anyways?

- dhruvmittal 14y agoWhile Sublime Text is nice (and rather attractive), many people still prefer vim and emacs. It's a matter of personal preference, in the end, as both vim and emacs are quite extensible. With the existence of tools such as YouCompleteMe, syntastic, delimitmate, etc., one can outfit vim with the functionality of Sublime Text or even some heavier IDEs in a matter of minutes (using vundle and pathogen to handle the extensions). My largest reason for preferring vim is its presence by default in almost every UNIX system I've touched. I just have to pull my .vimrc over to whatever machine I'm working in, if I'm spending enough time there to warrant it, and I'm almost immediately at home. I'm a vim guy so I can't really speak on emacs, but I imagine things work in a similar fashion.
