🤣👌

Hats off out of respect for the dead. :cry:

i am new here, but yeah, i get it 😂

Someone will. There are already some discussion in reddit, lets the wait and see which comes winner. I am exited for Zed editor, hope they release testing version soon.

Absolutely no point in that.

its MIT licensed

I have never used Atom, but why would you use it over VS Code? Genuinely asking

@@unknown3158 VS Code is great, but sometimes to write a Shell script, or Python with some basic linting + syntax highlighting to get a 5 min job done then Atom is great. I'm not inclined, and also I'm sure other engineers/testers/devs etc... feel the same. Why open a huge IDE for simply writing a script you know will work? Fuck Micro$oft for killing off Atom, amazing little editor.

I won't be able to sleep tonight, thanks engineer man

Came here to say the same thing. Not just not bald, but a great head of hair. Let that lettuce flow!

do you even "need" vim?

@@feitan8745 what does this question mean?

@@crimsintv Try also emacs. ;)

VSCode is not compatible with emmet. Everything was setup properly but keys binding was not working. So, this easy part wasnt working for me at all! Tried few times and getting some tutorials how to deal with this bug. Well, it was just disaster. waste of my time.

Expecting that VSCode from Microsoft who killed Atom will be ok is not true.

vim is great, you won't go wrong with it. Although there's a bit of a learning curve, keep in mind: Shift + g: Takes you to top of the file gg: Bottom of the file :wq! - Force write and quit :wq - Graceful write and quit

@@Defirence emacs is better !!!1!1!1!1111 !!!~ Yes, I am being silly. Vim and emacs are both excellent editors. Sadly, there are people who take their fan status of either emacs or vim/neovim very seriously, and cannot see how daft they look to people who are content using either. No, I'm not aiming that at you, just pointing out how silly some people make themselves look.

He'll never do it because he doesn't find it interesting.

Is there a different VIM other than that ancient DOS-like editor that I tried to use on my RaspPi? That thing sucked, I couldn't do anything! I presume there must be a more modern GUI version right? I don't get it. It seemed so outdated.

@@angst_ that is still what vim is by default, but it is very extensible. There are plugins for things like file trees, intellisense, git integration, and debugging.

Genuine question here, not taking the piss. How is it better than a dedicated browser?

@@abuhurairah8895 By installing loads of ~~extra software~~ extensions it gains lots of features, but remains impenetrable until one learns the archaic command strings required to make it do anything. This is why the majority of new users go back to using something that has a clearer interface after they try it. We know it is powerful. We know it can be extended to do so many things. We wonder why it doesn't get updated to have "less impenetrable" as an option.

Can you not apply that to every Jetbrains product that is not founded by your company and does not have a community version?

Use Pulsar, which is an Atom fork

Vim doesn't have a lot of features out-of-box, it's super conservative text editor. As far as I remember (I quit Vim 3 or 4 years ago) it even hasn't folding. There were some plugins which add folding, but they either didn't support multilevel folding, were buggy, or required to install support for each language individually. The same thing with almost everything, you need git support? Install a plugin. Code errors highlighting? Plugins. Searching and installing plugins is a hell compared to VSCode. Emacs is no better, except at least it doesn't have a ton of different plugin managers that are incompatible with each other and installing plugins is slightly easier. Personally I use VSCode with Vim shortcuts via plugin, that way I can take the best from both worlds.

@@fakt7814 Vim has folding for a very long time.

Exactly.

Yours is the first comment I spotted that mentions both without disparaging one or the other. Sadly, the fanboys of both post so much crap about how stupid someone must be to choose the other editor. It's like telling someone they must be stupid for buying a ford escort when you can modify how the stereo sounds in a vauxhall astra by pushing buttons in a certain sequence, or that the astra buyer must be stupid because you can install extra speakers in the escort. I've dipped my toes in the water with both. They're both as bad (and as good) as each other in various ways, and I have yet to settle on one.

@@mattsadventureswithart5764 Good analogy. I too love trash talking in a tongue-in-cheek way but in the end I don't care what software you use. Use whatever benefits your workflow. For me I like vim because it's light-weight and I love to be able to do everything with hot keys. My main issue with all the big editors in use is being dependent on companies that maintain the codebase. Vim and emacs have a massive following in the open-source community so you'll probably never run into the problem Atom faced.

Somehow, I don't think Fleet will be successful. Their main feature is that it can clone the code analysis capabilities of their IDEs through a cloud server, so they're going to have to make it paid, otherwise they devalue all their other products. And nobody's going to pay when VS Code plus a few extensions gives you pretty much the same capabilities.

VSCodium

Same. VIM seems to be the better or at least more extendable option these days. Though e.g. Jon Blow is extremely fast with Emacs, it's quite impressive to watch. Learning your editor well is more important than which one you choose. I remember the old meme about emacs, that the abbreviation stands for "Eight megabytes and constantly swapping". Complaining about the high memory usage compared to vi/vim.

@@SimonPiano42 Saw Jon Blow editing in emacs. Try watching Tsoding dailt. It is also emacvs used by programmer, but a lot alot more is going around on the editor ;)

(n)vim. This is the way.

Yes

Resist to be enslaved into this Borg microsoft company! Free yourself with spacemacs, vanilla emacs, doom emacs, neovim, vim.

@@texturator936 too confusing to install space/doom

@@texturator936 also helix kakoune vscodium sublime community maintained brackets are also options. Maybe even intellij

@@texturator936 vi Nano micro spacevim

That is going to be my next port of call. Would be good to see a pros and cons review.

In your case I would have the opposite reaction of regret, because you would have invested a lot of time into learning an editor that is now being discontinued. And VSCode is very good.

Somehow I don't think Fleet will be good. Their main feature is that it can connect to a cloud and get more advanced code analysis, which they won't make free since it devalues their other products. So it's going to be paid and you can pretty much get the exact same features with a few extensions in vscode.

People from Atom, few of them, are creating Zed editor. In Rust.

Things have changed since 2014.
