Hmm.. never.
Even when hijacked to fix something on a server there's usually an editor.
Usually Nano or VIM.
The rare windows server more often than not, has notepad++ :)

Either when my eyes hurt after a long day or when the file is too large for Vim handle without going crazy. I tell Vim: `:syntax off`, bitch!

At this point, I consider the colours an aspect of the language. I struggle to read code without it

Does a terminal count as raw text editor?

Don't judge me...

I actually did that too - but way more often i type code into a terminal to immediately execute it.

@Oktokolo Well, no, because that's not its function, lol. Unlessssss, you're talking about a terminal-based text editor.

@Tonnoman0909 Not having syntax highlighting or any type of correction whatsoever forces you to remember, recall and apply the language constructs correctly. :P Heck, try coding without line numbers! Even harder.

That’s how I write all my code.
