There was the thread here not so long ago about XEROX Park, and it had pretty detailed discussion. In the end it came down to funding.

You can check out some of my previous comments on my profile. I think we have discussed & covered it extensively here on HN. :)

So that's the case for JetBrains' products then? VSCode is Microsoft's product, and they are doing solid job with it now, but who knows what they will do with it in 5 years' time. I won't be surprised if they try to

And I am all for that, since i have configured and used tmux for a more than 5 years now. But what bummed me a bit is copy/paste handling (they think it should be handled by tmux, which is one of the tmux' weaknesses imho)

I will wait for Alacritty, and will ditch iTerm2 for it. I just need super minimal and fast terminal with true colors, that's all (although I hope Alacritty won't go super minimal as they intended to in beginning)

Well it depends what you define as editor features. Debugger isn't part of editor, at least for me, nor is git integration like VSC has. But speed of opening and editing big files, swiftness in searching and replacing even chars in sou

You can see my response comment below. But what has been holding me the most are Vim and Emacs, since I've used them exclusively for last 4 years.

I am student, and not from rich enough country. We don't even have Starbucks. But I don't want it to be excuse. With this new update, Sublime feels fresh again, and I think it will be worth investing into.

That's true. Sublime 3 never felt like "beta" software. But as somebody said below, I am afraid of people quitting and leaving it to die slowly (like TextMate died) and that's the reason why I was hesitate to buy it for

Well price-vs-feature ratio is debatable. The thing is that VSC has many IDE-like features, that I don't want in text editor. So everything comes down to a personal preference. And I don't know if somebody will finance piece of so

They went that way because of TypeScript I suppose. And in the end VSC is great marketing for successful open source JS/TS project.

If Sublime only had definite release! It's wonderful GUI editor! I stopped using it years ago when I switched to Vim and Emacs, but if it gets released I will buy it for sure, at least to have it on my work machine. I like editing text

So do you think that the future of computing is blinking cursor in code text editor consuming 13% of CPU? Or maybe small gif using 30%? You presented like the problem was in writing of the code, it's not, that's Electron's bi

Haven't wrote a lot of QT, but Cocoa/DELFI felt totally different than writing Electron app GUI. Writing Electron app felt like sketching, at least to me. You place one line of code with tags and boom there's a button. Now QT

Wow, that's bullsh*t. Sorry but what you said was factually incorrect. What Electron did is it enabled all those web devs (even front end guys) to write "desktop" apps. And trade offs are certainly visible. I am boycotting El

I've got used to SF Mono lately, looks really nice in terminal, and goes along with Fira Code when I change to it in Emacs GUI.

Looks really cool. Anyone tried to see how it integrates with Emacs?

by Philipp__ 10y ago
Your comment tells me you should start from the beginning and read the whole thing. :) Just give it a try. I was hooked after first chapter!

Not true. Big chunk of Emacs is written in C.

I have used, 6 times, for 1 week period each time. Last time I tried it a month ago.

Ema... Ok ok, I will shut up. :)

One of the nicest replies here. Thanks! :)

Nope, it's not snappier than Sublime.

For me Emacs opens up in about 2 seconds and it's ready to go and print text input in scratch buffer. I am on 2015 MacBook Pro 13" with i5.

Well I don't run any plugins in (neo)Vim besides colorscheme, FZF and neomake, and I run neovim inside Terminal.app since it is much faster than iTerm2. One situation, I open 5k LOC file, scroll to the middle and bam colors are there e

I am Emacs user. Have you tried it lately? It is lightning fast compared to Atom/VSCode. It's not as fast as Vim, struggles with long lines, and all that, but boy how surprised I when I uninstalled VSCode and fired up Emacs after

by Philipp__ 10y ago
I tried it too... Wasn't satisfied with performances. I used to install Atom every 2,3 months, when VSCode got released I then tried installing it every few months in place of Atom. I still do, but I always uninstall after few hours of

by Philipp__ 10y ago
Are you kidding me? Look at the raw performances and benchmarks of Vim/Sublime/Emacs, compare it to VSCode and Atom and you will see. If you don't believe the numbers then use both side by side, open 250MB file in all of them

by Philipp__ 10y ago
And that is OK for Notes or todo app, but text editor that is used by developers who tend to customize it with plugins and whatnot I think that is not viable option. But that's just my personal preference, maybe I am wrong...
