dartomic Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 I was using VS Code for a while, but I just tried Kate and realized that I like it a lot better. I want to know what else people like a lot, even if it's for the terminal, and even if it requires a lot of learning. If it does require a lot of learning, I would like to know what features might make it worth the effort to learn the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seemant Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I use atom and vim mainly. I tried codium for a bit, but I guess you really need vscode to run the various plugins to make it useful dartomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatolinux Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 On 2021, I used these editors: vim gedit notepad++ atom VS Studio Code kate I like notepad ++ because in case of catastrophic failure, it does remember the contents of all files I was working on, even the changes I haven't saved yet. I had been using atom for several months, and I still like it so much. I used VS Studio Code for a while, but I am not still convinced of it. Right now, I am using kate and I feel it matches all my needs (except the great memory feature of notepad++, unfortunately) and I bet I will stick to it for a long while. I customized the default options and made it atom-like, but I feel I'm distilled open source and that makes me happy. Also, I love the icon set and the minimap. I abandoned atom because I didn't like the available mindmap addons. dartomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted December 13, 2021 Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I use pycharm professional (paid) because I do a lot of python. The JetBrains editors are pretty good and a 'sweet spot' in terms of functionality and usability. The python-code-related features really are helpful. dartomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Python, but I see a lot of job postings for it. I really like C, but I haven't seen many jobs for C programmers unless I learn more math and assembly to work for a video game company. But I have seen a lot of people say good things about PyCharm. I'll have to get into that when I get into writing more advanced stuff in Python later. Is it safe to assume that anything below Python 3 is pointless to learn, if they're different? I'm not really sure if they're different languages.

Vim seems cool, I just don't know how to use all of it's features yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to check that out when I get some time to dedicate to programming again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure if they're different languages. Generally you'd be learning Python 3 if you started now. There are just some minor syntax incompatibilities in the core language and there were other minor changes. And python3 has more features and extensions, and most modules work best with 3 now (many have stopped supporting 2.x.) dartomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engineer Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 I use jEdit, but you need to load javatoolkit-0.6.7 yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minou666 Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 I use slickedit since it has the brief editor mode and it compares to codwright which Embarcadero discontinued when they took over Borland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
