I’m kinda a Vimhead so I’m just using Vim and hand-compiling but I’m interested to see with which tools you people are working with
Neovim, for 4 years now
Intellij for any big projects, VSCodium for smaller stuff, and vi for config editing, etc.

Hahaha my false excuse is going to follow me (like how could I prefer the vim logo over the neovim one).
Thx for sharing tho, I really liked SublimeText so it’s good to know a FOSS alternative. ^^
oh kak seems interesting, thx for sharing
Kakoune looks really nice at first glance, but it has some downsides. For example, selecting a word when you’re in the middle of it, not at the beginning or end, is pretty awkward. I think you have to press Ctrl+something, while in vim it’s just
viw.I think I just do eb or be
it is! i really like that it’s very visual about what is happening, and multiple cursors are a blast, but to me it still does have some rough edges in usage.
… and i’m just so used to
vim-fugitive, nothing will ever come closeyou know what ? I’ll give it a try, nothing to lose :D
At work I am chained to M$ platform so I am split between Notepad++ and PowerShell ISE.
On my personal systems its all VIM.
Try Onivim 2. It has great Windows support. It’s a commercial product, but free for non-commercial use as long as you build it yourself. Also note that while the source code is available and it’s developed in the open, it’s not technically open source until 18 months after each commit when it’s re-licensed under the MIT license.
I will take a look at it, but unfortunately at work it’s going to be a no go. We run a application white list on our systems and Notepad++ is already OKed and the security guys are not going to vet a new app just cus I asked.
I really need to just sit down and learn vim. It just never clicks with me. Everyone loves it so clearly it’s good, but I need to learn it. Anyone have any resources (besides vimtutor) or is it just a matter of forcing yourself to use it?
A good starting place: how to grok vim. Also check out vimrc on github, it’s a good collection of plugins so you don’t have to start from complete scratch. Oh an coc.nvim turns vim into an IDE with auto complete and error checking for most languages.
When I wanted to learn vim, I just forced me to do every text editing task with it. After a day, I knew the basics.
You can check this (but vimtutor will always be there for you) :)This is useful. Although I still don’t know how there are people so skilled with this kind of programs! Vim looks and feels hard to use :see-no-evil monkey:
It’s just that it has a steep learning curve. But once you kinda used to vim, it begins to be really “easy” and powerful

I’d recommend the book Practical Vim.
Well you don’t actually need to. I refuse!
neovim all day every day
Shame on me, I’ve never tried neovim just because I hate the logo… let’s throw stones at me.
never have to look at the logo if you never leave the terminal *taps head*
I personally use vim and doom emacs doom emacs is emacs with “evil mode” the vim keys
I do almost everything I do with a computer from inside of Emacs, and I absolutely love it. On top of everything else, it’s also a fantastic IDE 🙂
For IDEs I use Jetbrains stuff mostly. For work, I use Rider for .Net Framework stuff. I’ve been learning Rust lately using CLion with the Rust plugin.
This is why I stopped using IDEs and started using vim, in college they asked me to used a different IDE for each language and I hated it.
VSCodium
I currently use VSCode at work, but I might try this. Any pitfalls or unexpected downsides I should be aware of when I make the switch?
Default VSCodium doesn’t use Microsoft’s extension store, instead using Open VSX Directory which is missing extensions. It can be changed after install if needed, though.
I use to prefer to send a feature request to the extensions’ developers to upload their extensions to the Open VSX Directory too.
If you need more information about vscodium, I recommend you to read the documentation to know if you should use it or not: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md
Sometimes updates made in VSCode take time to arrive in VSCodium (I suppose that it’s because they need time to delete tracking elements from VSCode). Some extensions may not work as intended in vscodium because they use a different marketplace (https://open-vsx.org/). But in short, it is worth using it because in my case, I feel that the program runs faster, is less cumbersome and is lighter in general, although I do not know if it is a placebo effect or is due to the absence of telemetry and Microsoft trackers.
Emacs :)
VSCode, usually with vim plug-in
I have totally drunk the JetBrains kool-aid since $JOB pays for the all products pack license. Regular user of Pycharm, Webstorm, CLion, and occasional user of Resharper for C# and Datagrip. Makes it easy to jump to Android Studio since it’s the same base IDE. What language should the next $job project be in? ;)
My job gave me a Visual Studio license but I still use Rider with a license I bought myself. It just seems more… nimble? I’m sure it’s just a matter of what one is most used to and therefore best enabled by, and in my case that’s the JetBrains toolset.
Emacs. I dont know any lisp, but its a really good editor and i can customize it however I like.
my config is pretty close to stock, but with avy-window for quick switching, swiper for isearch, and ivy for autocomplete.
