Would anyone who uses this care to describe how it compares to other text editors we might be more familiar with (vim, emacs, TextMate, Notepad, ...)? The minimap is obvious (and a very nice idea); what else is in there?
- warfangle 17y agoSide-by-side editing. Textmate still doesn't support this without opening a new window and fuddling with resizing (heinous).
- pragmatic 17y agoYes, what are the "bullet point" features of this editor. I downloaded it and tried it out on some python code. It has run your project and there is a console for running python apps. Anything else I missed? It is very pretty.
- jcw 17y agoFrom the site, it looks like it has regex search/replace and multiple/vertical selection. It also looks like it can automate tasks (with macros, perhaps?). I use vim, but I've been thinking lately that all you really need to efficiently edit text are the above things listed. Vim and Emacs are extremely powerful, but your first experience with them was probably awful, and the learning curves are steep. Is a powerful AND intuitive text editor possible?
- latortuga 17y agoI figure you know this already as a user of vim but I thought it might be worth pointing out that vim has all of those features.
- Afton 17y agoI think jcw's point was that while vim has these features, no additional features are really required. I interprete the exchange this way: question "how does it stack up". answer: "meets minimum bar".
- dfj225 17y agoI took a look and thought the same thing. Doesn't help that it looks really similar to my current setup w/ gvim: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3051/gvim1.png http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3051/gvim1.png
