    Recently moved to vs code from sublime text... its awesome... full python support is the most feature i like about... also has a very good library of extensions
    What about atom ?

    @codeBoy moved over from sublime text to give it a go last night. So far my experience has been really good, being able to perfect ly set it to my needs through the extensive extensions available

    @Artemix best thing about sublime is that it opens really fast... as fast as notepad... but the extensions are not good in everything

    @codeBoy atom opens at the same speed as sublime for me. Definitely worth looking into, it's free too

    @codeBoy Oh, I am well aware of that, but I prefer Howl and Howl is a pain in the ass to get working on Windowd 😁

    For quick edits I use either Atom, GEdit or Geany. As for IDE, netbeans all the way.

    I mostly use jebrains stuff. IntelliJ for plain java/kotlin, android studio for everything android related and CLion for c/c++.

    Its great to have the same tools and shortcuts on every system (linux+windows) for all the languages I need regularly.

    Been using atom on and off since its first releases, switched over permanently at the 1.0 mark. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it struggles with really big files. But they are working on it and it's gotten a lot better already.

    @RStrydom What really bothers me is the input lag. I cannot really concentrate if in unsure if the pc got my keypress, which makes me slow, and distracted. Vim were actually worse in standart terminals, so i switched to xterm. Now this is really fast and now i can use Vim (or nano)

    @vortexman100 I love nano, but obviously not as my mail Editor, and I agree when system memory gets low it starts to feel like there is quite some input lag. It got a lot better when I put an SSD in, but yeah I can still feel the difference between that and say sublime

    @RStrydom Yea, i tracked it down to the gnome-terminal and all the other terminals. I dont know why im so uneasy about this, because every pc i ever used has this, but i cannot use this for programming. So i changed to xterm, and because xterm was faster than sublime or any other editor regarding input lag, i used it. Vim just for convinience. It doesnt really matter if i use ssds or faster monitors or somwthing else... it seems like consoles hate me... :(
