@ScribeOfGoD sounds like you are not sure what to use 😅
-
@heyheni Nope! Only opened it a few times, got confused how to exit, googled, exited, pondered it's existence.
But I'll check this out! Thanks! -
@jonjo gotta learn how to use vim to be quick lol, otherwise you're trapped trying to figure out how to type and exit haha
-
@Hobo42 vim and sublime give you everything you need.
-
@Hobo42 yeah vim needs to be configured to be "userfriendly" like vs code. When you master vim you will be a magician.
-
@heyheni configured to the users tastes. Try gvim if you need more.

@jonjo did you try vs code?
https://code.visualstudio.com/
I used sublime, brackets, atom but damn is vs code neat. integrated git gui, debuging and pluginmanager. and its super fast and gets monthly updates with awesome new features. -
@heyheni oh I only code in Linux. Windows offends my mojo.
-
@jonjo how so? Because I like having a multitude of features and know how to use them? K

@ScribeOfGoD just feel at home coding in a Linux environment.

-
@heyheni haha if it runs on Linux I will try tomorrow and not judge... just saying "visual studio" sounds bloated
-
@jonjo 😄 haha yeah thought the same at first.
-
@jonjo I do.... lol

Anyone wanting to try out vim check out this project called SpaceVim. https://spacevim.org
It's a community distribution with lots of plugins installed and configured for a user-friendly use. -
I've been vimming exclusively for the last 4 months and I have to say it's one of the best decisions I've taken. Here's my config (I use nvim) https://github.com/brainlessdevelop...

@heyheni lol
The M$ hate comes with the preinstall. Although, I hate even more Adobe and I still use Brackets...
Another dev on my team just got a new machine. Before he came in today I made two separate USB installers and ...
Fairly new to Linux, read that vim is a neat editor but hard to learn, good for script editing and such, but why use it over a language specific editor or something like VS Code?
