u wish

2019-11-20 14:25:55 UTC  

or a webdev who thinks VScode is great

2019-11-20 14:26:19 UTC  

I don't work with them I just have several friends that do programming work

2019-11-20 14:26:39 UTC  

A lot of programmers aren't linux users so

2019-11-20 14:26:44 UTC  

that narrows it down right there.

2019-11-20 14:27:18 UTC  

one guy swears by Ultra Edit

2019-11-20 14:27:39 UTC  

sounds like a brainlet

2019-11-20 14:27:40 UTC  

switched a friend over from nano to micro because micro's just better

2019-11-20 14:27:45 UTC  

I wish I worked with other devs

2019-11-20 14:27:58 UTC  

if we had other devs

2019-11-20 14:28:29 UTC  

for the course I took, both instructors (who are industry people, and know industry people) used and recommended vim

2019-11-20 14:28:29 UTC  

I know a guy who's a sysadmin who uses nano

2019-11-20 14:28:57 UTC  

and he's a midlevel guy at DynDns

2019-11-20 14:28:59 UTC  

lul

2019-11-20 14:29:08 UTC  

I've seen people use and recommend Eclipse

2019-11-20 14:29:24 UTC  

People will use whatever it really doesn't matter

2019-11-20 14:29:29 UTC  

we were given the spiel on vim vs emacs and how it largely wont matter in the end as long as it gets the job done :^)

2019-11-20 14:29:40 UTC  

if you're an actual pro you'll have started to make your own utilities and tools no matter what you use anyway

2019-11-20 14:29:58 UTC  

I used Vim for a long time

2019-11-20 14:30:10 UTC  

but there's just lots of things that pissed me off that got me to switch to emacs

2019-11-20 14:30:25 UTC  

Bram can go suck a BBC

2019-11-20 14:33:53 UTC  

At my university they start people off with Code Blocks

2019-11-20 14:33:58 UTC  

it's garbage I hate it

I took the effort to just learn how to compile from terminal

2019-11-20 14:34:46 UTC  

and was writing in terminal too until my terminal applications decided they didn't like displaying things properly

2019-11-20 14:35:03 UTC  

wat

2019-11-20 14:35:22 UTC  

I have no idea I didn't want to bother with it though

2019-11-20 14:35:55 UTC  

You can change encoding and input stuff on the fly, just depends on the emulator.

2019-11-20 14:36:03 UTC  

maybe that was it

2019-11-20 14:36:12 UTC  

but if you're talking about using your editor in the term then..

2019-11-20 14:36:17 UTC  

there's lots of reasons to use the GUI

2019-11-20 14:36:40 UTC  

because of baggage from the terminals.

2019-11-20 14:37:31 UTC  

only reason I'm using VS Code is because of the screen split options available

2019-11-20 14:37:45 UTC  

I don't use it for much more than text editing

2019-11-20 14:37:58 UTC  

Describe what you mean by "screen split"

2019-11-20 14:38:12 UTC  

horizontal and vertical split views

2019-11-20 14:38:21 UTC  

so just a split window

2019-11-20 14:38:21 UTC  

and multiple tabs between the split views

2019-11-20 14:38:32 UTC  

vim and emacs both have that 😉

2019-11-20 14:38:41 UTC  

VScode just runs like shit
