dev text editor car edition. which one are you?
@nixCraft Emacs (harpoon included in standard package)

@accela @nixCraft
This is madness!

This! Is! Emacs!

@nixCraft I yam a li'l red chevy...
@nixCraft
and if I use the simple "Text editor" a.k.a Gedit, what would be my car?
@omartwotone @nixCraft gedit would be a bicycle. The bonus is : it's environment friendly.
@omartwotone @nixCraft that is usually notepad, which in this case would be the celta
@nixCraft Trying to think of a good car for Sublime Text but drawing a blank. Hopefully something small and Japanese, please.
@nixCraft #BBEdit @bbedit: Mazda MX-5 “Miata.” Decades of production as a light, balanced and powerful vehicle that adopts modern technology while straying true to its design principles. Has a loyal fan base that will drive nothing else.
@nixCraft Depends on the task. Vim in a terminal is quick as can be for shell scripts, Perl, and Rust. VS/VSCode is pretty much required for C#.
@nixCraft depends. if it's just a small tweak to a config nano/vim (on windows notepad++), if it's something bigger vscode. if it's java intellij, if i'm forced to use windows to code c++ or .net visual studio.
@nixCraft jetbrains for python (pycharm) sucks ass. Slow shitty editor. Would not compare it to an F1, more like a bumper car at the town fair
@nixCraft notepad is not as low on resources as vim
@nixCraft Why choose? I use most of them (no Notepad++). Each one is useful in a certain situation
@nixCraft nano and VS Code, I used Atom previously.
@nixCraft I often am the one that doesn't have spelling errors in the description. In other cases, VSCode.

@nixCraft
Notepad

... it has wheels AND a door!

@nixCraft I take various forms of public transit: whatever open source editor is specialized in each language I'm dealing with (have used Kile, Spyder3, BlueFish, Atom, Eclipse...)
@nixCraft
It depends what I want to do and on which environment. Mostly the Jetbrains stuff, but vs code or vi when I have no other options.
@nixCraft can't believe Eclipse isn't on here. Surely, that would be a steam traction engine: slow, heavy, and hard to get started with
@JAGLees If only eclipse looked like this, I'd actually want to use it
@nixCraft

Emacs - DeLorean DMC-12

@nixCraft I still prefer to use atom, so where does that leave me?
@nixCraft Everyone should have a corolla for the everyday ride and a good old modded ae68 to really enjoy the ride
@nixCraft huh, solid, dependable Corolla on both of my editors. *looks out window* checks out.
@nixCraft
I do most of my work in JetBrains. But I always have VSCode open as a generic scratchpad, to do complex regex substitutions, and to take notes. For quick edits to configs I use nano.
@nixCraft Geany. Any recent Renault low-cost car.
@nixCraft I guess I'm a little chevy now, can't complain too much, at least the fuel economy is good :3
@nixCraft This speaks to me because I use vscode or vim, depending on the language/target, and if I have to have a car it'll probably be a Toyota.
@nixCraft I reject your categorization and substitute my own.
@nixCraft I only take the train. So… Geany?
@nixCraft toyota corolla i guess, but i use VSCodium

@nixCraft Thanks I'll turn on eurobeat every time I fire up (neo)vim from now on

I'd like to interject for a second though, that neither visual studio nor notepad++ runs on Linux, while all the jet brain IDEs are cross-platform... The choice of asphalt vs all-terrain vehicles was not the best there.

@nixCraft I see #Vim / #Neovim more like a rally-prepped 1967 Mini Cooper.
