I tried 10 code editors

My journey as a programmer has taken me from starting out with IDEs, then switching to Atom/VScode because I needed something more lightweight, and more recently I've been using vim/nvim, although I'm still learning all the useful keybinds... I'm afraid that in a few years I'll start writing directly to memory with my psychic powers... Text editors just take up too much memory!

When i open my linux laptop the first thing i open is either phpstorm or webstorm.

What do yall think about vs itself not vs code

The best obviously Notepad.(sarcasm)

cool video)

I code in Micro btw ...

You can also substitute nano with micro.

Spyder for python,eclipse for java, vs for everything else

lifehack: just use one code editor, no need to try 10

Some Thing about this dude voice just makes you wanna listen.

he sounds exactly like how someone in Tech should sound.

Paid text editors are 100% completely useless, because you can't have them for free (easily). Why mention them at all?

Nobody uses Vi, just like nobody uses notepad.exe. Why mention Vi at all, when Vim exists?

i still think it's better to use C++ with vscode rather than vs, it looks outdated too

The google vi and emacs thing is still true

VS code gulps battery like a glutton

I code everything in psudocode on a whiteboard in my room then run it in my mind.

i got shamed by a classmate in my math class for using lua :(

Kate ftw

Ahh, memories with Dreamweaver😅

Visual Studio Code

i like vs-code and visual studio the most.

I've been using VSCode for a while until the point when I had to ssh to a remote server and edit some code there. VSCode can do this, but what it's doing is downloading a version of the file. You edit the file, and on save it's being re-uploaded to the server. For me this process was too slow, so I was looking for a solution that can edit the file directly on the server. I switched to VIM because any remote server has at least VI or VIM pre-installed. After a couple of weeks of learning, it became second nature to me. Now I'm using NeoVIM for my local development and VIM on a remote server. It's super fast once you've learned it, and the learning curve is not that steep as it might seem.

Dude I didn't Google actually auto corrected vi to emacs and emacs to vi....

stop it. get some help

"Stop it, get some help"
Dead 💀

This got old with Cursor out

I have also used many editors ranging from Q (anyone remember Q?) to Sublime, VS, VSCode, XCode, Android Studio, Jetbrains IDEs. The problem is, once you start to use a Jetbrains IDE, you get addicted to it even if you have to pay for it (I am a long time "all products pack" user) and it is a good spent money.

Are we doing that now? Beating off dead horses instead of LeetCode?

neovim is best trust

I want to start programming but I don't have a laptop 😞

Unlike metaverse, mouse is actually useful

Don't code online, you're just giving the AI the training data to beat us.... :wq!

Nano is the best in terminal text editor. You can also customize it to add code syntax highlighting. I love the simplicity.

The only one doing drugs here is you. vscode lightweight? You are high on something REALLY strong if you think that, wintoddler.

I thought the "Did you mean:" between VI and EMACS was a joke 😭

No love for the Mu Editor, probably because only the smartest of coders can grasp it's depth

I've tried many IDEs, almost all of the ones on this list. The best IDE I have found is QtCreator, although it is very undervalued just because it comes packaged with the Qt framework.

before VSCode, I used Netbeans

where is geany?

Eclipse is very underrated for C++ or Java

Since not everyone is a programmer that understands that an editor can have modes etc. I don't understand why nano hasn't replaced vi as the standard editor... I mean, if all you need is an editor to change a few settings in /etc ... nano is so much more straight forward to an outsider... even UBoot has an editor that resembles nano... but once you've booted your openwrt router... you're stuck in vi that gives you no hints as to how to save or quit the program.

Both vi and emacs are great editors for programmers... but give the common person a chance with an editor that's not worlds away from notepad...

No Netbeans or Eclipse? And my all time favorite text editor is PSPad.

I miss Atom.

ehem. excuse me. Sublime text much?

you, yu can't scare beginners with emacs pinky

Quasi-retired 53 year old programmer - I've used, as in written something worthwhile/profitable with, every editor on this list (except the Android one, ugh). Currently use Neovim for my hobby programming in Elixir, Python and SQL. I really enjoyed IntelliJ when a work project forced me to use Java. VSCode was fun and extensible, but a desire to simplify has brought me back to Neovim/LSP/Mason and it feels like home after all these years.

Notepad++ is the only thing I miss from Windows.

I remember being new to any type of web development and only learning from some random dudes on IRC and google before all the cool online learning resources existed and thinking the only way that you -could code websites was by pirating dreamweaver.
