Why would I use Notepad? I’d have to install it first. Does it even have a Linux version or would I have to use Wine? This meme is giving me headaches.
I just read a micro vs. nano. But each point in favor of micro was “i have that already in nano”. Syntax highlighting, status bar with col/line, undo/redo, even mouse support.
I like both. But many people don’t even realize that nano has quite a lot of configuration options. To me, they’re text editors, not code editors. For code, I use VSCode (or “code”, the FOSS variant).
I once worked on a team in a company who had to ssh into a server and do all the development work on that server. So all we could use was either vim or emacs. I had my vim decked out with all the plugins and customizations, and it was fine.
But after you get back to using an IDE (especially an IDE with a vim plugin), it’s hard to go back
It delivers the same OK-ish experience no matter what file type or language I’m dealing with. Yeah it’ll never be as good as a dedicated Python IDE for writing Python, but I’d rather know vim than 5 different IDEs for Python, YAML, Dockerfiles, Rust, Latex, whatever I need to deal with today.
It just edits files and doesn’t hide internal state, intermediate files, etc to make my life ‘simpler’ (notepad is the same, so I guess this is more of a strength vs IDEs). When an IDE fails to align all of its internal moving parts just right to compile a project I know I’m in for an hour of figuring out which checkbox needs to be unticked in what sub-sub-sub-sub-submenu, I like it much better to have a “flat” experience of invoking a command line and getting an error message directly from the tool I am invoking.
Seems like the right side should be classic terminal tools like ed. Or any other cat/echo/etc where you change the contents of the file without opening it (or all of it) directly.

What are the x and y axis?
Who in the actual fuck uses notepad?
You would think that Microsoft would have implemented better functionally by now. Yeah they had WordPad but that sucked too.
Like, c’mon, allow me to alt-highlight blocks of text already.
.i la .varik. cu pilno la’o zoi. ed(1) .zoi.
VARIK uses ed(1).
lojban 💀
.i la .varik. cu fanva fi le glibau fo la .lojban.
VARIK translates to English and from Lojban.
have you heard of our lord and savior L L Zamenhof
.i la’o zoi. L.L. ZAMENHOF .zoi. slabu la .varik.
L.L. ZAMENHOF is familiar to VARIK.

VARIK writes the current sentence… and not uses Esperanto.

Treesitter and native LSP levels the playing field pretty handily IMO.
I have never heard of customisation for nano. That said, I’m quite pleased with programming my vim how I like it.
Yes, but for a quick edit or glance, nano-syntax-highlight and lesspipe with highlight or bat are nice.
Like a enthusiast once said “People don’t quit emacs, they just die at some point”.
Every editor has its place but this meme would make more sense with any IDE (vscode, eclipse, intellij) than notepad
Agreed.

In my experience, once you’ve used any text editor with an LSP implementation it’s hard to go back to an IDE
Most people use IDE’s, having them where notepad is would not make sense on a bell curve.
Along that line of thought, you could do
That’s exactly how I would’ve made it
Nah, IDE’s go in the top bar, big brain is still notepad and alikes.
To me vim’s main strengths are
20ddto delete 20 lines, that’s very neat.Quick editing for me is in vim. Anything else is in Visual Studio Code. Which I have set up with vim keybindings.

Nano gang, represent.
Notepad ++
@Arotrios ftw
@mafbar
notepadqq in Linux
That’s just the sign of a deeper illness. Soon you’ll be installing a disk defragger.
Notepad++ is the only thing I miss from Windows.
