yea it comes in handy when dealing with weird encodings too. so good code editors are no replacement for this tool, friends!! god bless

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av
scite. it's been my one and only editor ever since I found it, over ten years ago (!). I use it on windows, on linux, on mac. back in college we weren't allowed to install anything on the lab machines nor use usb drives so I made a portable version of scite and put it on a floppy disk. I'll sometimes install x11 and gtk on headless linux machines just so I can use it there, too (I've since learned enough vi commands to avoid this. for bigger jobs I'll scp files back and forth). I use the x11 version on mac despite the fact that x apps on mac suck. that's how much I love it

except recently on windows I've switched to notepad++ (which is based on the same editor as scite, scintilla)

it's mind boggling to me that you people would seriously consider using a text editor, of all things, based on node. what the hell is wrong with your brains. what the gently caress. I can't even

As a web developer, using node based editors is bringing the power of emacs and lisp customization to the 21st century. Don't knock it unless you've tried it.

Vs code is good and can pretty print JavaScript out of the box - not something I could ever get sublime to do

sublime is the best. super fast and handles everything and looks great and very refined. they should actually put some continued development effort into it and drop the price to 20 bucks but it's still the top, regardless.

np++ is the second best, it's fast and light and opens quickly but it feels more hacked together and the dev is a weirdo sexist

haven't really used vs code, it seemed feature-incomplete compared to sublime or np++ last time i used it. might give it another shot.

atom is unbelievably slow laggy poo poo garbage with an actively hostile development community. don't touch it.

it's extremely good. there's a ton of extensions and most likely anything you'd want exists at this point, the community around those extensions is vibrant, and accidental regressions have been patched very quickly

the mistake is treating VS Code as a text editor. it's a mini-IDE.

what use case does that fill? well, you see

I use vim on the command line, atom on the desktop

node.js is trash, but I literally don't care about ~bbbb..b..buutt...My RaMs :whitewater:~

Also I don't edit text-editors or write text-editor plugins, so it might as well be written in brainfuck for all I care? Runs fast enough for me, highlights the newest versions of languages I use, and it's got some p. good plugins

like what kind of packard bell 486 nonsense do you have to be using to have sublime take 5 whole seconds to start up?

i just timed visual studio chode on opening a 3 kilobyte text file. took eight seconds

gvim took five, but also ran it through two slow as balls linting compiling plugins

np++ took two

notepad took 300 milliseconds
