> I'm still impressed with it in other areas. You mean in areas you are less expert in? :) Maybe it's bad at everything, but each person can only tell when it comes to their own area of expertise.

I don't think GP said anything about making demands. They said they avoid using that piece of software and that is not a demand on the software's author.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you are asking whether either Vim or Emacs use treesitter for syntax higlighting of LaTeX files, the answer is no at least not by default.

Haha! I didn't recognize your user name or domain name and when you mentioned seamless access to command-line tools I almost recommended Álvaro Ramírez's dwim-shell-commands package to you. Glad I clicked the link first. ;)

Zed! That's a blast from the distant past! I enjoyed this 1980 paper about its development: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/spe.43801001... EDIT: I just saw in my own comment history that

Speed definitely depends on use cases. I switched from Vim to Emacs because Vim's syntax highlighting in LaTeX files was so slow it lagged behind my typing (and I am not a fast typist!). This is a well-known problem in Vim and the manu

It's true that Mathematica has more polish than Sage, but conversely Sage has vastly more pure math functionality than Mathematica (Mathematica seems to me to have focused on data analytics and neglected mathematics), so the projects j

I don't think it's fair that you got down-voted for not knowing what Lisp-style interactive development offers beyond what ipython or jupyter offers. Many people don't know either and the proper response would be to explain,

I think they are almost always pretty close to inflation, and have been both slightly below and slightly above it at different points in time.

I don't use either one, but just from reading the comments here: using treesitter for syntax highlighting and having LSP configured out of the box (for kakoune I think you need to install an extension called kak-lsp).

I guess that, as most things related to using software, it boils down to familiarity. You say you managed to figure out Word's rules for when text will inherit formatting of the text to the left of it and when it won't. I believe

I do things like that inside Emacs with the consult-grep command from the Consult package, combined with the Orderless matching style, Embark to collect the results in a buffer. This has several advantages over the command line: - Interacti

Oh, that's a strict criterion! So not even Vim cuts it for you, it has to be neovim.

> I have the same problem in the other direction, viper is not a substitute for neovim. You should give Evil a try, people say it's much better than Viper. At the very least Evil emulates Vim, while Viper just emulates vi.

Informative function signatures, allowing programmers to add per-function documentation, and tooling that displays those things are by no means limited to staticly typed languages. I guess knowing allowed types for each parameter is informa

Are people that use the word "explainer" just unaware of the word "explanation"? Also, what do those people call someone who explains? "Explainerer"?
