    Kakoune is probably the only editor that respects the UNIX philosophy, and I love it. But I also don’t like how there’s no linter and formatter for the same - maybe a daemon-based approach is probably better?

      If you like Unixy editors, highly recommend also looking into acme

      Russ Cox describes it in this video as more like an “integrating development environment” as in it works with your surrounding operating system rather than an “integrated development environment”

      Doesn’t shine as much on Unix as in Plan 9 though. Also no linter or formatter built into or distributed with acme but you probably could get your language’s usual tools to work pretty well with it

      I’ve really been enjoying Helix, which took a lot of inspiration (including key binds, mostly) from Kakoune. It’s just missing a plugin system to be perfect, but built in LSP support is soo nice
