Linus Torvalds has pretty much always used an Emacs variant for his work on the kernel. Matz uses Emacs for his work on Ruby. DHH uses TextMate, a text editor. Pretty much every major piece of software that you can name on the Unix platform was and is developed in either Emacs or Vim.
Anybody who thinks that a text editor is better than an IDE is an idiot? I think not.
- vorador 18y agoWell, some people used ed.
- silentbicycle 18y ago?
- vorador 18y agoIt's the text editor used by Joy, Thompson and Ritchie.
- silentbicycle 18y ago?
- vorador 18y agoCould you be a little more precise, please ?
- silentbicycle 18y agoHave you ever used ed? Try to actually use it for a few and you'll get it. One good thing about ed is that it's always on even the most minimal system recovery disks (which often lack vi, even). I've been stuck using it a couple times while fixing dying systems. No fun, but better than nothing.
- vorador 18y agoActually I use a line-oriented text editor. I prefer using it because it makes me write shorter code, and I can't slack off five minutes because I'd forget the contents of the file.
- silentbicycle 18y agoWhich? I'm only familiar with ed and ex.
- vorador 18y agoIt's one I wrote.
