I clicked the comments here first (bad habit) and presumed there was something more nuanced to the case the OP is trying to make... but you are right, it's quite the WTF.
To be fair I think Atom hides the split commands behind a View->Panes menu and IntelliJ (or PHPStorm at least) has the command in Window->Editor Tabs. (All on OSX). So it's not super clear where the split window functionality is, but it's also not hard to read the docs for your editor..
Edit: Ah I see what the OP is saying now. I'd be surprised if this functionality isn't covered by plugins, though.
- paperwork 12y agoI'm surprised too, but there don't seem to be any such plugins (although vim apparently comes closes...never looked at emacs). What I find really interesting is that I seem to be in a _very_ tiny minority that wants this or even has given any thought to this. I expected that most other developers with modern monitors would want this. The comments here and on the blog show that isn't the case :)
- jhrobert 12y agoI would love to have "news paper like columns" in my editor. I have been looking for it since 2007... Another thing I would like is the ability to inject multiple files into the same "edit buffer" so that "search" works over these related files as whole, transparently.
