People will use whatever it really doesn't matter

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 :^)

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

I used Vim for a long time

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

Bram can go suck a BBC

At my university they start people off with Code Blocks

it's garbage I hate it

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

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

wat

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

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

maybe that was it

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

there's lots of reasons to use the GUI

because of baggage from the terminals.

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

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

Describe what you mean by "screen split"

horizontal and vertical split views

so just a split window

and multiple tabs between the split views

vim and emacs both have that 😉

VScode just runs like shit

just download more ram

It's not the ram it's the electron

kind of wish they'd rewrite it

I'll go back to what I said yesterday.

If I wasn't already an emacs fag I'd be 100% on jetbrains products.

if you have an edu email you can get everything for like $25 bucks

oh I guess they're giving if for freenow

interesting

I actually told some of my classmates about this

a friend recommended me JetBrains stuff

took a bit of work to get initially setup on Windows

I don't use windows as a workstation so

Penguin Boi?

No I use OpenBSD so I can avoid all penguins
