vscode sucks because if you’re using it, it probably means you’re writing javascript for a living

i use and like emacs, but thats with 17 years of manicuring a .emacs config to fix all the terrible defaults, and with a kinesis keyboard where ctrl is under a thumb and not a pinky. in any case i wouldn't recommend it to a friend on the other hand my programming career has been going pretty well and i assume this is entirely the result of my choice in text editor

i can respect emacs-vim grognards, but since those setups are almost always artisinal and unique, it means those skills are untransferable to junior coworkers whereas using a thing like intellij or visual studio you can ramp up people faster and teach them their tools without the keyboard wizard learning curve also greatly reduces chances of "works on my machine"

I worked at a place briefly where everybody was using pycharm but I think they were just cargo-culting the one guy who knew what he was doing

Wasn't there a YOSPOS goon who used to go sicko mode if you said anything bad about vim? Am I just imagining this? I swear I remember someone melting down about this in one of the earlier versions of the linux thread.

Bored Online posted:emacs style chording is bad for your wrists. i have no information to back this up The defaults are unusable on a normal keyboard, I only use it because i have ctrl and alt on the home row. I guess instead of hitting ctrl and alt with your pinky you could pick up your hand and hit them with your index finger, but who does that?
