@stevesebban You're looking at this from the wrong angle. Riley and AltStore are the winners here.
Everyone knows what Fortnite is, for better or worse. Few people know about AltStore, until they discover Fortnite will be available there. As crappy a company as Epic is, they're actually about to create competition where there previously was none. I thought they'd just make their own store, offer Fortnite there and have done with it.
Congrats @rileytestut, it's only up from here!
@antijingoist Neovim is a nice project, and there’s some great plugins unique to it that make it a real contender against Vim. They’re similar enough that I have an active config for both and switch between them a bit, but usually use Vim.
CotEditor in my mind wins over VSCode on two fronts:
1. It’s a native app, no Electron. I tend to avoid Electron apps like the plague, as long as there are options…
2. It’s not built by a massive corporation
Community-driven software ftw
@antijingoist I have also got a current license for Nova and it’s very good, but I tend to always gravitate back to Vim. If you know how to use it already, honestly I’d go for that if I were you. You’ve got the hard part out of the way, now it’s just configuring it to do what you need.
3/3 (man, I didn’t think I’d hit the toot length limit this hard)
@antijingoist Both excellent pieces of software, Vim in my mind being preferable for many reasons. There’s also things like emacs, Kate on Linux, Notepad++ on Windows, CotEditor on macOS; all available for free, but tend to have a feature or two missing (can’t comment on the feature set for emacs though, I hear it’s monstrous).
2/3
@antijingoist My intention wasn’t to be unkind, so apologies for the tone. There’s many people online who tend to ask the world but aren’t prepared to support it, so I made an assumption which wasn’t called for.
My point really is that £3.49/mo is a very reasonable ask for the software in question if you want to use it. If you need that level of functionality but cannot pay for it, then you’re looking at VSCode or (neo)vim.
1/3
@antijingoist Out of interest, why do you not consider BBEdit to be worth the money? It has a huge wealth of features and can compete with the most popular editors today whilst also being fast and updated fairly regularly. Smaller studios can’t maintain apps with VSCode-level functionality for free.
I don’t have to pay to use vim (my editor of choice), but I still do donate monthly. I think your budget needs re-evaluating.

Here's one of the many beautiful things about Mastodon and the Fediverse:
I saw that @johnvoorhees opened a Pixelfed profile. That service is powered by federation too. So here's what I did:
- Took his profile URL: https://pixelfed.social/johnvoorhees
- Changed it to: @[email protected]
- Searched for the account, and followed him.
Now John's photo feed is another account, from a completely different service, that I follow on my Mastodon. I love this.
@maverick604 Who’d work in technology, eh? UX conventions come and go I suppose, the designers need something to do.
Joking aside I don’t know if we’ve reached the optimal UI for many things yet, and this is intuitive as long as you know about it… just good luck if you don’t
