Can you give us some insight into how you develop on ChromeOS? What editor do you use? How do you run things like GIT? What surprised you that was so easy? What did you find more difficult that you wish was easier?
- steveklabnik 13y agoI'm the kind of guy who lives in the terminal. The only GUI program I use is a web browser. I've been trying out Nitrous.io, and it's pretty great. I also SSH into a Digital Ocean droplet too. I just use Vim and git and everything else as normal. > What surprised you that was so easy? Mostly that it works. > What did you find more difficult that you wish was easier? I still haven't done any international travel with it yet, I bet I'll spend a lot more time using my X1 Carbon then.
- ufmace 13y agoI've tried out a little development on a Nitrous box using Vim myself. It seems like it would be possible to be pretty productive in it, if you were really good with Vim and all of the command-line tools. I managed to get some things done, but working with Vim just seemed to put so much friction into things. I try to keep working with Vim enough to get more comfortable/productive in just that, but it seems like a pretty long road. I tried it out on a VM chromeOS when I was thinking about getting a Chromebook Pixel, but I ended up going with a Macbook instead - seems like more features for the same amount of money.
