Helix, it’s a nice alternative to Neovim because I don’t want to spend hours configuring plugins. It has everything I need built in and works out of the box. It’s also written in Rust 🦀
I’ve used Helix a lot in the past before being indoctrinated into GNU Emacs. I really liked it’s newer take on modal editing and as you said all the configuration is done for you.
Also the fact that it compiles with a ton of cool themes haha.
to anyone willing to learn Emacs, as the video says: “Emacs is not that hard, you can learn Emacs in one day, every day”
I use vscode for everything, but i want to try something more interesting. Some of the new Rust ides look really cool
I use VScode mostly because I deal with lots of API stuff and boilerplate with extensions written for it.
Neovim, I can pick and choose most over-the-top IDE features and configure it to my liking. No need to leave the terminal for text editing in my opinion.
Acme! It’s a weird but really intuitive text editor/window manager once you get used to it.

Or nano for simple text editing in a terminal.

Doom emacs
I see we have an evil user amogus. Such villany
I use Atom and Vim. I should replace Atom, but I like it.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who misses atom. It was rough to move from it, it’s so good.
What are your thoughts on Pulsar? Do you dabble in Vimscript?
Sometimes Micro. Lightweight, runs on tons of platforms, open source, scriptable in plain Lua, highly customizable, can handle multiple open files.
But honestly mostly vscode. I should probably look into a switch to vscodium sometime.

vim, no fancy configs or anything because I want it to always work the same on remote servers that I work on vs my local
eclipse for java (god I hate my job)
Honestly I used to use notepad++ on windows for general use and IDEs/terminals as appropriate, but its such dogshit on linux (they say just use the windows version with wine! and the Qt clone of it has some key features for me broken, like bad autosave) that I almost entirely use vim. I guess sometimes gedit to open things graphically.
Do companies still use Eclipse? I thought they would all switch to JetBrains licenses.
What are your thoughts on Neovim?
they dont tell me what to use and I dont do enough development to want an intelliJ license particularly, which is what my coworkers use
never used neovim but it looks neat. might have to try it. but ultimately my like of vim is mostly that its usually preintalled and the same everywhere. My text editing is pretty distributed across different systems that dont have neovim no any of my custom configs for much of anything

Emacs 4 lyfe
vim.
On the windows desktop, sublime text for system files, and obsidian for creative writing projects. On the Linux laptop, nano, it never gets in my way.
