I use a really religiously KDE-focused system, so I use Kate and KWrite for nearly everything. It's a pretty decent replacement for VS Code, especially with language server support. Nice and native. \n\n

I think Joe (Joe's own editor) is a good editor. It supports a variety of keybinds for efficient editing, but is much more limited compared to Vim, which doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. It has syntax highlighting for most programming languages and detects most file types reliably. It has editing commands akin to Borland IDEs, yet can be used in Emacs emulation mode, but I prefer the default settings. It has a built-in menu and has a config file, that you can edit manually too. It has a toggle-able help window, but unlike Nano, it has to be triggered and is off by default. \n\n

spacemacs. used it for a long time now and its less hassle than maintaining an emacs setup myself. too lazy to try out to doom but that seems good too? \n\n

I use sublime text 3 and notepad++ instead of the basic notepad because it does multi-tabbing. \n\n

I use pen and paper. OCR technology is good enough now that I can scan my code in and usually don't have to edit anymore, but if I do then it's pretty easy to fix it up with Gimp. \n\n

Notepad++. Not as robust as a proper IDE for programming languages, but I like using it over notepad for normal text files. Basic syntax highlighting and the regex search and replace option is nice too. \n\n >>22
I heard somewhere pen&paper over typing is better for your mental health, but the thought of using it for coding is strange to me. \n\n

vim on windows is very underappreciated
but most of my code output is from vscode \n\n sketching ideas and stuff on paper (or a whiteboard) is something I probably won't ever let go of, unless I somehow happen upon an ipad with the fancy pen or something \n\n

Have anyone used micro? How good is it in general and on large files(>100MB logs or xmls) \n\n I'm tired of nvim constantly breaking apart each update. Same with its plugins, eg which-key has "add" and "register" functions doing the same thing in different versions. If you use outdated nvim "distro" it will have one function, if you use modern, it will use other function because keeping api stable is not which-key goal.
I'm tired of this shit and looking for a new editor where I don't need to spend lots of time to write a config for it not to suck. Iwant editor where I can edit it's confog once and practically don't touch it for decades, like old vim. \n\n I've used helix, but it kinda sucks - only half of movements change the selection, half don't. I don't believe there is equivalent to Vim's 'C'(change to the end of line) because of that - 'End' doesn't change the selection. \n\n I've used Kakoune but there was some quirks I didn't like. Don't remember. \n\n Now I want to hear people's opinion on micro - what's good, bad for programming(py, ruat, c++, c, etc) and massive files browsing. \n\n

Emacs. It was easier to pick up than vim when I started using linux. I don't program that much; I mostly write notes and shell scripts.

that new Microsoft Edit on Github is kinda cool, finally you can actually write text in a powershell window without needing to install vim or something \n\n hope they don't end up monetizing it but develop it juuuust the right mount \n\n

> >viWhen transcribing something or gathering my thoughts, i usually write short bursts at a time, which made me constantly switch modes in vi (or xah-fly-keys after i needed something dvorak-friendly). Modal editing isn't hard, yet it just takes unneccesary mental resources. You can press C-g, C-x C-s and C-x C-c anywhere, so it starts to feel very automatic. FSF Emacs is nice in terms of extensibility, you could sit me in front of anything with emacs keybindings though. \n\n > >syntax highlightingLearning programming on nano and vi might have skewed my perception, but i usually find it more distracting than helpful. If your code does have hard to differentiate syntactic objects, like a deafult: label inside a switch, it's bad code anyway. \n\n > >edI unironically use ed regularly to write or edit a couple of lines in a shell script for example. Not having to switch from the shell paradigm to full-screen editing can be pleasant sometimes. \n\n

>>22 has to be satire. but okay. \n\n I used to use nvim, stubbornly rebinding HJKL to IJKL (to it resembles arrows keys more. and like. why the fuck use HJKL to begin with?) \n\n anyway, the performance issues brought by using plugins just made me mad. found a proprietary IDE for my language of choice (C#, Rider) and found better peace of mind instead of setting everything up from scratch. \n\n for light editing, I just use Sublime Text \n\n

I use Micro, but I'm not sure which aspects of it should I comment on. \n\n The default bindings imitate GUIs, so it doesn't have modal editing and the usage may be less efficient than other editors. Plugins are given access to the internal API which isn't easy to grasp, however some parts have been stable for years and guaranteed in practice to remain. \n\n Also, it's not designed to handle large files and takes a lot of memory on them. Except on long lines, Micro doesm't seem to lag much to view and edit large files if syntax highlighting is disabled. On my Android phone, it hanged for 20 seconds on opening a file around 100MB and took around 500MB of some kind of memory. \n\n
