Well, atom won't open. SO, what's the next free editor I will learn to use, configure exactly right, and then need to abandon because it won't fucking open for no apparent reason?

Sure, I could become a certified Atom expert and learn exactly what is going on, but I HAVE FUCKING WORK THAT IS DUE WHAT THE FUCKING HELL

Wishing I could afford PyCharm, maybe I will just try the trial since EVERY editor I have ever used eventually becomes unusable at some point.

    My adventure with Atom is that I use a laptop which is docked most of the time, so I can use two 23" screens for my work. I found out that when you unlock the laptop, and try to use Atom, it opens off screen, with no way to bring it back. Fortunately, I also have Notepad++.

    @RazorSh4rk I suppose I should give it a try before I judge... but vs code on ubuntu just feels so wrong. It's by microsoft, so doesn't that mean it will suddenly close in the middle of me working to do critical updates to some crap I never use, like good ol Windows? :)

    Vim has never failed to open for me.

    And I'm really sorry to be that guy...

    @iAmNaN Yeah I have gedit and vim but I became fond of the plugins and customization I've put into it.

    Its definitely sensitive. Logs reveal part of the problem was that I deleted a folder that contained code that atom was editing last dev session. So it choked trying to open a file that's deleted? I hope that wasn't it, but, after a restart and touching the file names I remembered, atoms launched again. Deleted them from the atom file browser this time lol

    @ryanmhoffman yes, I need to just, learn the productivity benefits of vim already. I can use it for basic crap but I need to experiment with language specific and dev specific techniques for vim use...

    To echo @RazorSh4rk I honestly have heard good things about vs code even on Linux.

    But I use vim everyday for everything including Python and it's great.

    I work with the community version of Pycharm, no problems nor reasons to buy the pro version so far. Atom can be a pain sometime but it's so beautiful

    @ryanmhoffman Opening vim has never been a problem for anyone, closing it on the other hand ...

    echo " myFunction():" >> file.py

    ...etc
    Only editor real programmers need.

    @iAmNaN If you're on windoze and can't see the window, press ALT+SPACE, it will open the window's context menu. Pess 3 times ARROW DOWN and SPACE, then you can move the Window position with the ARROW keys. When done, press ENTER.

    @iAmNaN @qbasic16 also on Windows a simpler way is win+shift+arrow moves a window from one screen to the other. Up and down arrows minimize/maximize.

    I use Brackets for most of my stuff (not really... I use IntelliJ Idea and WebStorm but you said you can't afford PyCharm and that's basically the same so...)

    @ryanmhoffman echo grep and sed probably wouldve made short work of the edits i needed to make. Fak

    @plumbus dunno, I usually find cool stuff at random (I found Brackets and WebStorm while I was searching for a replacement of Notepad++ because it lacks any auto-completion, error checking and so on)
