it's really not that bad. i'm pretty sure i've made fewer customizations to my emacs setup than to, say, my eclipse setup; it's just easier to see because it's all in one place in a form intended for human editing

i guess there's some stuff like custom modes for some obscure/proprietary file formats that took a fair bit of work to set up, but that's the kind of thing that's literally impossible to do in most editors beyond trivial context-free syntax highlighting, so ... oh ok i'm a huge nerd i admit it are you happy now

https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=vimrc sooo many rc files, of course once you get one of those that's the baseline for expansion. i know a guy who is in the process of building some insane rc file so that he can have the functionality of sublime text i guess? it does other things too, but he's got a lot of time into it. the solution is use eclipse or sublimetext imo.

i get the enjoyment factor of tinkering around with it. it's just not my bag.

i'm taking a linux class that he requires us to use vim and learn a large amount of the shortcuts and we're required to do everything from ssh and command line. first project for the semester is writing a kernel module for an afsk modulated signal

the one thing i've learned from the class for sure is i never ever want to use linux as my daily driver

this is correct. unfortunately that work is probably for *nix thing. so the cycle continues.

The best way to beat basic programming into people is still having them write said programs onto paper.

But holy lol who the gently caress writes kernel modules without an IDE :wtchris:

programming was brutal for most of its past compared with today. unix was initially written largely without an ide to speak of. as was c, basic, fortran, probably large parts of the early linux kernel and so on. early program loops were accomplished by physically connecting one of the ends of the paper instructions to the other and feeding it back through. can you imagine having to manually flip switches to change your code? I don't do much heavy development, but I don't mind writing small programs out on paper or doing some light development at the shell. writing assembly by hand and debugging physical machines like they did though, no thanks
