What less popular text editors do you like or should have a shout out more often? What stuff do you do with it? - Lemmy.world

  • Helix for terminal editing because I never got on well with the order you had to do thing in Vim, Helix (and Kakoune) make more sense to me.
  • Lite-XL for a lightweight GUI editor. I just think its neat.
  • Pulsar for everything else (mainly because I’m involved with it, come visit us on Lemmy at [email protected] /shill).

Pulsar looked really nice until I realised it’s just a other electron app. But will probably give lite-xl a try
It absolutely isn’t “another electron app” in that sense. Atom (and now Pulsar) literally invented Electron, it is the original Electron app to the point where even thinking about de-coupling it isn’t really possible. Electron literally used to be called “Atom-shell”.
Woah! Atom-shell = electron. I’m dumb and the connection was just made.
