vs code deserves some praise for drinking sublimetext's milkshake and doing it for free, but lol it's a text editor that takes multiple seconds to start up on very fast hardware

I've been fooling around with an 8MB Mac IIfx running System 6 and it's once again amazing to be reminded just what could be done on a system leaner than those that are in the average remote control these days

the OS fit on 2-4 high density floppies, depending on whether you count the Network Software Installer (to install the Ethernet card driver) and MacTCP (for modern connectivity)

Macintosh Common Lisp was another 2-3 floppies, depending if I wanted sources for most of it, and includes a fully programmable Zmacs-like editor that responds instantly when run on a 40 MHz 68030, and isn't unusably slow on an 8 MHz 68000

what I'm trying to say is that running everything atop web technologies is insanely bad because it leads to software that's worse than what we had nearly 30 years ago

emacs is the true path and all other editors are but stones underfoot on the way to emacs

Zmacs is the true path, GNU emacs is just a pale imitation

agreeing with this

sublime is the next best substitute but i miss bbedit

BBEdit doesn't suck, it's a good editor

why would you miss it though, it still exists and was just updated, and old versions still work great on old operating systems too

ahem gnu emacs

there are better emacs

most were written by or with the people who created emacs rather than the maintenance programmer they hired when they had other poo poo to do

AppKit and UIKit are sufficiently similar that you can very easily develop native applications that run on the only desktop and mobile platforms that matter

msbuild is dogshit so I guess yeah you might have to use it for build scripts, but that�s on the build server, not on your dev machine .

why would you use two different project formats for desktop builds versus server/CI builds?

that's stupid.
