Well fucking shit motherfuckers. Vim & Neovim are both contaminated with LLM slop.

I mean, I can just use ed. Or roll back Vim to an old version and never let it update? Fuck.

I do have a new Mac coming, so I could just commit to BBEdit, tho that's less optimal for code editor. Assuming siegel hasn't done something stupid?

Ha ha I could finally switch to emacs with vile binds and then NOTHING will work.

Fucking fuck darkest fucking timeline.

What was that other new Mac code editor? They had an expiring demo so I wasn't able to use a fixed, working version of it, but it seemed promising?
Ah, Nova: https://nova.app

I spent a while on Sublime Text, it's cool but the config system in JSON & the hoops you have to jump thru to just add a script are fucking awful.

I miss Atom. It was kick-ass. Slow. Ungainly. Ate all available RAM. But pretty & super-powerful.

I'm going thru "best code editor mac" listicles and UUuuuuugh.

The beautiful, fast, flexible, native Mac code editor from Panic.

Good news! Textmate 2 still runs. Guaranteed no slop because it was last modified 5 years ago, and has some runtime problems on later OS's. Allegedly doesn't build in current Xcode, despite being good old-fashioned Objective-C/C++. Mailing list is dead, IRC is dead? Well, shit.

Can't try Nova until new computer.
