lotd77754yHmm.. 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++ :) -
35% of the time when noting down an idea for my language/checking how a feature would be uses.

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

@mmsk
Don't judge me...
I actually did that too - but way more often i type code into a terminal to immediately execute it. -
Tonnoman6224yLitterally the most basic thing on my system im aware of has syntax highlighting at least. I really would just mess around most likely
-
@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.
