I use neovim over vim mainly because it has LSP funcionality built in.

Still i would like to switch to emacs because of it’s licensing, and some spot interest in learning LISP.

I use Codium because I’m a laboraristocracker who can afford a PC that’s not too bothered by its memory hogging but don’t want to use VSCode because I don’t want to be that cucked by Microsoft. I wanna make the jump to emacs or neovim though.

Side? SIDE? I’m on nobody’s side - because nobody’s on my side.

gedit, anyway. Yes, I write code for a living. Yes, it’s fine. Honestly.

I use neovim because I know a little bit of lua so I can configure it a bit better. A while ago I used emacs with doom-emacs but found it difficult to customise it. Right now I use LazyVim to configure neovim and I understand it a bit better.

vim on servers and vscode with vim-mode for dev. I want to learn emacs but it’s hard to get started with.

On a side note, I have unreasonable hate for nano and I refuse to use it even for a single char change.

gedit/Notepad++. The simplest and lightest of tools under a solarised dark theme get the work done.

I’ve been using neovim recently, though before that I tended to use nano.

I prefer Emacs because it’s the most flexible (by far) and I like Lisp, but I configure it for modal editing and I still use Neovim for some things

Vim most closely matches how I like to work and the featureset that I need so I use it for basically everything: scripting/programming, markdown, JSON Schema work, lightweight CSV work, config files, etc. I mostly use basic features that are built in – I think the only plugins I have for it are Goyo, for editing larger quantities of text, and maybe some Markdown-language highlighting/features which isn’t built into the base program.

I am neutral about Neovim. I like that it exists, but there’s nothing it would add for my use cases so I just install Vim.

I would love to learn a bit of Emacs, especially as I am a bit of a FSF / GPL diehard. I wish there was a GNU Vim clone (I feel Nano is a bit different) or that Vim was released under the GPL rather than its own. Although I am given to understand that it is somewhat copyleft (source). I think Emacs’ nature as a power LISP machine is really interesting, but it just doesn’t match with the way I work via a Window Manager+terminals/vim. Adding an Emacs layer on top of that just doesn’t make sense for me. If there was a desktop environment or window manager that was basically “Emacs”, I’d consider giving it a go.

I avoid Electron apps where possible because they’re heavy on system resources but I have fond memories of Atom from when it came out (although Microsoft have abandoned it because they’ve sold everyone on VS-Code). For people just getting into doing things via a text editor I usually recommend its community fork, Pulsar.

I’ve been using Neovim for the last few years for everything. I am considering switching to Helix when they get a good plugin system.

Emacs is the most based imo. I use it for most things. I’m also in the Vi/Vim camp though from time to time. Every “Edtior” that’s written in some version of JabbaScript is my enemy.
