Really, do you always have to force everyone to use the toys that you are using?

I admit doing this. Always.

Colleague: "What is a pl file?"

Me: "Oh thats a perl script"

Colleague: "So how do I edit it?"

Me: "Just break out emacs and modify that perl script lol"

Colleague: " *Triggered* did you just assume my text editor preference"

Me:" -_- what year is this ??"

Maybe we should go to Emacs or Atom instead 😂

You can pry my Emacs from my cold dead hands

Think I found a better way to learn vim/emacs on a linux/unix 🤔

Tools I enjoy working with:
Python
C
Visual Studio Code
Geany

Tools I don't enjoy working with:
Emacs
CSS
Matlab
Vim
My boss

alias vim="emacs"

PHP sucks
JavaScript sucks
Python sucks
C sucks
C++ sucks
Apple sucks
Microsoft sucks
Linux based operating systems suck
Vim sucks
Emacs sucks
$IDE_OF_CHOICE sucks
Docker sucks
The way we talk about our tools makes we wonder why we do programming in the first place.

Stallman heart failure recipe:

1. Start your UBUNTU LINUX(don't add the GNU part) and set up your .NET Core environment.

2. Download VS Code, the superior text editor for those that do not wish to have carpal tunnel.

3. Open the terminal inside your VS Code instance while inside a .net core project.

4. Type emacs -nw and watch emacs come to life inside of the terminal while living inside of the heretic vs code editor.

Wait for stallman to get a heart attack or a stroke from this.

I would be in the nano row.

What if I prefer +=1 instead of ++ ?

True story! Same with sublime too!!

alias emacs="vim"

How much of real programmer are you? I am just at VIM level :D

Let the hate flow through you!

After Windows/Linux and atom/sublime and vim/emacs and all those other reasons we fight...
for(i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++)
or
for(i =0 ; i <= 9 ; i++)
for 10 iterations?

Windows vs Mac vs Linux
Swift vs Objective-C
Emacs vs Vim

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!
IM HAPPY WITH WHAT I HAVE, SO STOP PREACHING OR I'LL STAB YOU!

Ok? 😑

Dark Vaduck drinking beer instead of helping me to write a genetic algorithm for solving knapsack 0/1 problem ...

Spent my day configuring emacs....

Few text editors' learning curves. Emacs won the competition ;)

VIM or Emacs ?

Ok guys, show me your Stallman pictures. Everyone has one

Vim everywhere :-)

Let's have a real debate.

Not Linux vs Windows vs Mac.

Not Vim vs Emacs.

Not ASP.NET vs Spring Frameworks.

NO.

CHARACTER LIMIT. 80, 100, or 120+ and WHY.

People argue all the time what text editor is the best: VSCode, Sublime, NP++, Emacs, Nano, Vim, etc.

I just remembered when I used to do my HTML, CSS and JS in regular Windows Notepad, as a requirement in my Web Developement classes...

I think some good came from that, I picked up a habit of writing my code very neatly, easily readable.

Git. Not Linux, not python, not gimp, not GCC, not Emacs. Git.

Because it saves your work and you can work with other people on one project in a human way

I’m gonna say it. I prefer Nano. Vim is nice and emacs exists but I just feel most comfortable in the hands of my precious Nano.

Let's list some holy wars!

• OS
• Browser
• VIM vs EMACS
• Gif vs "J"if

What I'm I missing?

I've been using Vim for like a year and a half, mainly because I dont know how to exit...

Just Kidding!
Ah, I miss Vim jokes

Started learning vim... It feels like a DIY IDE where you have to find half of the parts on the internet...

404 Sleep not found...

I know this is probably gonna be unpopular but whatever; fuck vim, fuck emacs! A text editor should by default take in standard accepted characters and command form the keyboard without being all hipster "I'm so niche and alternative" about it. You are a text editor so let me enter teeeeeexxxxt!!! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!! $£^$%^^$%

Every non Vim users ( or Emacs!)

If you really wish to be happy, find yourself someone who looks at you like Notepad looks at Emacs

I learnt to navigate in Vim 🤩.

Ik it's not much. But had heard so much about Vim and Emacs (tho still don't know why are they so popular, or how to use them), but I kept my distance after the first time I could not quit the application.

I always thought EMACS-Users worship the dark Lord Cuthulu.

Hail emacs...... i guess *shrug*

My mom couldn't stream YouTube videos to my Chromecast in her TV and asked me for help via Telegram when I was at the office of my second job

Turns out the USB cable was unplug 🤷‍♂️.

Vim vs emacs

Just had a sudden "fuck it" moment and shaved my beard. I can already sense distrust in the face of people.
Am I banished from the church of emacs?

Read some books
Get a computer
Write some codes
Use Linux
Hate Microsoft
Argue Vim vs Emacs
Debate 4 spaces vs tabs
Use dark themes
Follow buzzwords..
Now repeat after me, "I am a programmer...."

I won't rest until I can order Uber Eats from Emacs

Seems legit

Macbook Pro - No ESC key?

Its not like its used much in vi or emacs anyway is it?

No esc key on a unix box? Seriously?

I know its got a 'soft' escape key - hows it going to know to switch to that if i run vi or emacs -nw in an ssh session?

Mac keyboards go from bad to worse - used to be a nightmare to find a | symbol.

Found this gem in the IT building.

You tried your best Google.

How my emacs friends are seeing me every time I talk about Vim ...

C++ VS Java VS PHP. VSCode VS Vim VS Emacs. Chrome VS Firefox. Android VS iPhone. Windows VS MacOS VS Linux.

I am beginning to feel that opinions are like buttholes. We all have them and we all think everyone else's stinks

I've finally gotten everything on my Debian workstation configured they way I like it. Openbox + xfdesktop, tint2, compton & conky. The windows open in the screenshot are emacs, Tilix and ranger (URxvt).

Looks like he can't get it closed

The right tool for the right job.

I will leave it here
monday- tabs vs spaces
Tuesday- brackets indentation
wednesday- windows vs mac
Thursday- c# vs java
friday - windows vs linux
saturday- vi vs emacs
sunday- vs code vs intellij

I'm having such a blast writing code in TypeScript. Once you learn it you cannot go back to regular JavaScript.

VIm vs emacs

My current workspace. Nothing fancy but it does the job. Tools: Windows 10, Emacs, Visual Studio 2015, git, bash.

To settle the debate about Vim vs Emacs once and for all

Mr robot use nano. Does this means that the debate of via vs emacs is over?

-I'm gonna learn C for real
-I'm gonna configure Vim
-I'm gonna try November
-Emacs with Evil mode is a better Vim
-I'm gonna learn eLisp
-I'm gonna learn functional programming
-Gonna use clojure for everything now!
-init.el is 400 lines long

int main() {printf("Hello World!");}

Success! 🤦‍♂️

Who even uses Vim over Emacs!
And Tabs over Spaces! 😂

I shall not judge a developer's skill by their choice to use nano ...

Atom or VS Code?

The unexpected sequel to the 'vim or emacs' debate.

I know I'm gonna catch heat here but if you insist on using vim or emacs on any OS that is in GUI mode just know I think you are mental... I get it you have shortcuts but so do sublime, atom or vs code. Plus intellisense.

Don't get me wrong I started with vim and have a special place in my heart but I know people only use it to beat their chests.

And just so everyone knows a little about me:

Spaces>tabs
Vim>emacs>nano
Linux>windows>macOS
I hate JavaScript
And mtn dew is a better drink than coke or Pepsi.

On Mac, open Terminal...

1. Enter cd ~/
2. Enter emacs
3. Press Esc
4. Enter X
5. Enter either; tetris, snake, or pong
6. Enjoy!

Emacs! Why?
Org-mode: Best note taking for work/life.
Magit: Git on steroids!
Evil-mode: Because Vim key bindings are far superior imo.
Elisp: The power to extend your editor however you want.

Vi > emacs

Go.

when there's full-on nulear war in the kitchen between team vim and team emacs, and you're at your desk using sublime text and actually getting shit done.

What's your favourite IDE? 😁
I'm currently working with Emacs and it's great! (But Sublime Text is still beautiful)

Wtf man, you are using fucking Ubuntu for 5 months and I really have to tell you how to edit fucking /etc/hosts? Fuck you... I should be the fucking boss...

VIM! ViM! vim! Vi Improved! Emacs (Wait ignore that one). What’s this mysterious VIM? Some believe mastering this beast will provide them with untold mastery over the forces of command line editing. Others would just like to know, how you exit the bloody thing. But in essence VIM is essentially a command line text editor at heart and it’s learning curve is so high it’s a circle.

There’s a lot of posts on the inter-webs detailing how to use that cruel mistress that is VIM. But rather then focus on how to be super productive in VIM (because honestly I’ve still not got a clue). This focus on my personal journey, my numerous attempts to use VIM in my day to day work. To eventually being able to call myself a novice.

My VIM journey started in 2010 around the same time I was transiting some of my hobby projects from SVN to GIT. It was around that time, that I attempted to run “git commit” in order to commit some files into one of my repositories.

Notice I didn’t specify the “-m” flag to provide a message. So what happened next. A wild command line editor opened in order for me to specify my message, foolish me assumed this command editor was just like similar editors such as Nano. So much CTRL + C’ing CTRL + Z’ing, CTRL + X’ing and a good measure of Google, I was finally able to exit the thing. Yeah…exit it. At this moment the measure of the complexity of this thing should be kicking in already, but it’s unfair to judge it based on today’s standards of user friendly-ness. It was born in a much simpler time. Before even the mouse graced the realms of the personal computing world.

But anyhow I’ll cut to the chase, for all of you who skipped most of the post to get to this point, it’s “:q!”. That’s the keyboard command to quit…well kinda this will quit the program. But…You know what just go here: The Manual. In-fact that’s probably not going to help either, I recommend reading on :p

My curiosity was peaked. So I went off in search of a way to understand this: VIM thing. It seemed to be pretty awesome, looking at some video’s on YouTube, I could do pretty much what Sublime text could but from the terminal. Imagine ssh’ing into a server and being able to make code edits, with full autocomplete et al. That was the dream, the practice…was something different. So I decided to make the commitment and use VIM for editing one of my existing projects.

So fired the program up and watched the world burn behind me. Ahhh…why can’t I type anything, no matter what I typed nothing seemed to appear on screen. Surely I must be missing something right? Right! After firing up the old Google machine, again it would appear there is this concept known as modes. When VIm starts up it defaults to a mode called “Normal” mode, hitting keys in this mode executes commands. But “Insert” entered by hitting the “i” key allows one to insert text.

Finally I thought I think I understand how this VIM thing works, I can just use “insert” mode to insert text and the arrow keys to move around. Then when I want to execute a command, I just press “Esc” and the command such as the one for saving the file. So there I was happily editing my code using “Insert” mode and the arrow keys, but little did I know that my happiness would be short lived, the arrow keys were soon to be a thorn in my VIM journey.

Join me for part two of this rant in which we learn the untold truth about arrow keys, touch typing and vimrc created from scratch. Until next time..

:q!

That's what we call "conf" in school. Normally we have to lock our computer everytime we leave the table. If we don't, anybody can reach your computer and make kind little bad things to your computer :
setxkbmap ru
alias ls="reboot"
alias firefox="firefox youporn.com"
alias emacs=" ls"
Changing keyboard sensibility and many things !

decided to participate in a short c++ curse at uni, just to refresh my memory about it since it seems rather important.
Got sidetracked at the preparation task, which was the usual hello world...
I'm running this in emacs now...
Like, one view is the program and under it is the shell run from inside emacs...
I dunno why... send help?
Now I'm considering how can I configure the emacs shell in a fun way.. oh dear.

First course of "Software Engineering", it is full of project management ...
I'm so disappointed ...

I'm on my third day of vacation and I really wish I could code something for a bit

Clojure developers: why has our awesome language not taken the world by storm? how do we get new developers interested in Clojure and Lisp! its not as hard as people make it out to be!!

Also Clojure developers: Yeh so we know you are all probably not used to an editor like emacs *crowd looks in confusion*....BUT YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD EMACS, INSTALL ALL THESE PLUGINS, MAKE SURE THAT THIS SHIT CALLED CIDER WORKS AND LEARN ALL OF THSE CTRL+<Fuck-Mx-You> COMBINATIONS!!

As someone that has been in the community for so long...I can't with the mentality of some of these people, and it scares me because I fear for Clojure disappearing.

Yesterday, i had to use neovim for a task on my friend's laptop. There was no WiFi and I couldn't install Emacs. This guy uses Vim a lot. He recently moved to neovim from vim. He had some Ruby codes going. I had to debug some codes(performance issues). I was reluctant to work on it but i had to. After looking at some keybindings and the plugins that guy had written, using vim was pleasure. It was fast. I could shoot up multiple terminals work on that and was instant. I wrote some plugins to indent my code which worked as it's supposed to. I used spacemacs(as it's configured properly) Emacs but there is some load time on spacemacs and there are some issues shooting up multiple spacemacs on terminals. I had just configured and started using prelude which is beautiful Emacs configuration and is fast.
After using neovim that day something hit me that i had blindly had faith in Emacs without using Vim and i use Emacs only for text editing task and terminal. I don't use it for listening music, browser and other task i can always use modern browsers and Spotify for that. Modern browsers and music players are amazing and using those in Emacs there is always a lack of functionality and UI.(modern people don't use those i think and some Emacs users i know use stripped down version of Emacs i.e. microemacs or XEmacs.

I know vi is present by default on every Linux distribution. That keybindings are same as vim and it can be configured so, it is useful for embedded devices and system architecture. I love terminals and love working on tty. That's why i guess i felt instantly tempted to keep on using vim and i loved it's performance. I checked on evil layer before but there are some issues with evil layer in Emacs like it isn't too efficient like vim. I love lisp though and clojure can be edited nicely in Vim.

Is this sin against the church of Emacs? Should i join vi vi vi? I have already dedicated my life on Emacs (check my bio). Am i tempted by the devil?

When you think about a so complex algorithm for your project that you don't think anyone did this before but find the perfectly fitting solution on the internet

A new job.

What the fuck is so hard about vim? Press i for insert mode, esc for visual mode. How is that so hard to remember? There's like 2 commands at most that you need to know

To everyone who wants a terminal editor but hates how overly complicated vim/emacs is:

Micro is like nano but with lua extensions and multiple tabs.

Emacs is my operating system and Linux is it's bootloader.

Switching to emacs, wish me luck

Know what is funny about the Lisp family of languages?
The most powerful is Common Lisp, the most useful by current standards is Clojure(since it can target the JVM as well as JS and I think the .net runtime)

Yet the most widely used by a laaaaaarge margin: Emacs Lisp

I just think that is funny.

confession: I tried emacs once.

vi 'til I die.

Emacs is its own nightmare and nightmare fuel at the same time

So I'm a new CS student diving head first into programming. I've already made my choice in terms of what language to learn and indent style (bracket gets its own line 😁), but I'm having trouble choosing between vim and emacs...

Without this devolving into a flame war, could we have a discussion on the pros and cons of each editor? I'm curious to see what other developers use and their experiences with each of these editors.

was jobless for some time but in those days I was seeing this smoking-hot mulata friend of a cousin. After several visits and "movie days" I asked her out for dinner which, to my surprise because I'm a nobody, she accepted.

we went out and eat some tacos in her favorite soda around the corner. And we went out a second time IIRC.

needless to say, the money that paid that modest dinner with such amazona was earned working as a freelancer in PeoplePerHour doing junior-level stuff in Python, I learned the language during my four last years in high school.

ah, how I miss that girl 🤷‍♂️.

Alright,
Praise EMACS-NOX

No Rant:

I guess I will start a religous discussion with it but I want your opinion on what tool I should learn.
Vim or Emacs (or stay with my IDE)?

For all of my programmer life I used IDEs... From Eclipse over CodeBlocks over VS to IntelliJ.
But now I realized that I want to be one of the cool kids. And using plain IntelliJ is uncool. No matter how much I love this tool.

So now I want to invest some time into learning. I never managed to do much in Vim since all code-completions sucked ass, feedback on syntax errors was bad and I never saw how I could be any faster with that shit compared to what IntelliJ does for me.
Will Emacs solve all those problems? Will Emacs make me code 1000 times faster and make having a mouse useless?
Or am I just too dumb for Vim? Can Vim itself do what my IDE does for me? Will it make me look as cool as I want to be?
Or should I stick to IntelliJ and just install Vim bindings?

What is your opinion on Vim vs Emacs vs any IDE?

New colleague comes to present himself. Sees me editing using key bindings, multiple buffers showing in Emacs, bash scripts running in separate terminal...
"I have no idea what you do around here, but I'm sure your a pro"

Seems like a smart guy to me.

Y'all Vim (anti)fanboyz be like "ha! try to exit Vim!"

And then there's me, Emacs fanboy... my first shortcut was to undo a change - Ctrl+Z. Guess who looked at the monitor like if he got a wet slap?

Note: it minimizes the window and I blinked right in that while.

What's next, "Vim Construction and Renovations'?

I broke up with Spacemacs. My configured Prelude, baby i'm in mood for you.

I'm pretty sure someone has already asked this, but as this is not StackOverflow ...

Question: vim or emacs?

Switched from Vim to emacs...
WHY DID I EVER USE VIM?!

Developer problems:
6 different package managers to keep up to date.

Gem
Pip
Npm
Emacs
Homebrew
Aptitude

Good thing bash scripts and cron jobs exist

My favorite place to code?

emacs.

Because, emacs.

So, I decided last week to give VIM and Emacs a try, for no other reason than I can.

I found emacs a bit clunky, but VIM is actually starting to grow on me.

Can anyone recommend some good sites where I can learn about configuring vim, nothing major, but setting different indents for different languages would be handy.

":" is to Vim what "Ctrl" is to "Emacs".

Having a crack at switching from vim to emacs, my understanding of the major differences are as follows

* departure from modal editing
* emacs provides a more comprehensive environment
* More powerful scripting capability,
* my pinky will complain,
* I might just about to enter a new church

Any advice for a newb? Hoping there's a few of you out there

Anyone actually using vim/emacs as their primary dev environment ?

There is a lot of emotions in this command

vi and emacs are for teh noobz:

echo "{100 lines of teh codez}" > path/to.file

I failed with vim, I failed with emacs, so what?!?

Moron at work: Dude, why are you still using Emacs? IntelliJ is so much better.
Me: ☠️☠️

when instead of coding one spends far too much time on expanding the syntax highlighting for better readability...
I mean, yeah it took me like 2h, but now I have a vague idea on how to quickly add things which improve readability for me.
emacs config ftw.

VIM and EMACS. If I were to really spend the time to learn either of them in great depth, would I really be able to get an equivalent or better experience than I already do with VS Code Plus ‘live server reload’ and ESLint for when I’m editing JavaScript, node, handlebars and html files?

I have a high tolerance for difficult or lengthy learning curves, so I’m willing to put in the work for a longer term payoff in efficiency.

Love when I'm using a tool and get "damn this is well thought out" feeling. Magit (Git client) for Emacs. Been using it for a couple of years and still get these awe moments.

I've decided to change the key components of my Arch Linux system. Of course it's not gonna be quick but here's my plan:

i3 -> bspwm
VSCode -> GNU Emacs

What do you guys think?

!rant

I love emacs dired mode.
Nothing better than the full power of a decent text editor to edit directory content.
I know quite some multi-file-naming tools, but they are all crap compared to dired.

That's all. Have a nice weekend, everyone!

Are vi/vim users vegans of dev community? Can we also add emacs users to the list? Bunch of degenerates if you ask me... 🤗

I shitpost on LinkedIn

Well, crashed Sublime Text and Emacs... good job me

Depends on what I am doing, but for the most part: Emacs.

Closely followed by VSCodium and I then Vim.

Smoking when I want (this picture of my pipe when I was visiting my parents)

Any code editor you guys recommend? I prefer something modern but light, without much setup. Was using VS Code but it stopped working and figured might as well try something new. Already tried ViM and Emacs, doesn't count

Emacs >= Vi

For all of our differences Tabs Vs Spaces, Emacs Vs Vim. There are two things that drive us. Computers and free promotional merchandise.

I spend far too much time tweaking Emacs.

I quite often run untested scripts on production systems or hot fix JavaScript files on live using Emacs...

Emacs ❤️❤️❤️

So I'm TAing this database class and we constantly need to use shell to edit text. I am hosting the workshop with another student, who is a vim user and I am an emacs user. During one workshop he wrote down the commands for editing and quitting vim, and I simply told them control x and controls s, then control x and control c. And the stdents are fucking complaining that is too many commands? Like, wtf? And this week when we are holding the workshop and we need to edit something so he said just open your favourite editor and a girl was like vim, vim, vim , the same girl who complained emacs is too many commands. Like I'm the total loser using emacs there. Get your shit together people omfg you brainless followers. No offense to vim users, this is just personal.

Do it with php

Personal projects would be a hundred times better if they were not personal

How did I end up looking how to write asynchronous function in shell script whereas my task is to write a distributed chat app in Node.JS ?

Damn this is going to be complicated.

(colleague) Are you still using Emacs?? why don't you use Sublime instead?
(me) Because I am a PERVERT and I god damn LIKE it (being pervert & Emacs)

Conclusively ending the tabs vs spaces and vim vs emacs debate

Emacs, my beautiful editor
Git, my beautiful version control system

Using vim without plug-in and writing my first ever python code (not "hello world") on it
Hail emacs!

I think that vim is following me....
:-)

When you use a Windows desktop and Linux laptop at the same time and try to undo with ctrl-z in emacs... This is going to be a long day

I fucking hate webpack and frontend development so fucking much, why do I have to see my site not loading the bundled JS code on production but being absolutely fine in dev? is like watching my mom being run by a car over and over and over while I try to remember how it all was before she gets run over, FUCKING STOP WEBPACK, I havent sleep but just 4 hours since yesterday, I NEED YOU TO WORK JUST AS YOU DID IN DEV WITHOUT THE PERKS OF HMR FFS, JUST FUCKING DO IT

Emacs, once you gotten familiar it's just the best and there's lots of packages to make everything easy to do from emacs. Also it's very configurable

In a conversation about which editor to use to edit pod file, this guy said nano.

I thought what a great idea to piss off both vim and emacs people in a single shot 😂

Mac: emacs
Linux: emacs
Windows: wsl + emacs

Emacs is godsend for me, it does almost everything I need, except Skype / teams meetings. Originally started using cause I needed good note taking and org-mode pop up everywhere and after while decided to change completely no emacs cause didn't see much point to use multiple different editors.

Spacemacs is my favorite editor!

I like it more than vim and emacs combined.

Ok. Vim is absolutely brilliant. But sublime in vintage mode ( sublime text with some of the vim capabilities ) is more brilliant. Today I just found out that this code editor (sublime) has this feature implemented and I'm happier than ever. I will use both of them and I won't need any over text editor ( although I have to try to emacs and spacemacs ).

I don't have to choose between Vim or Emacs?

I'm only a humble customer service representative in Amazon, I really hate the email editor we use to mail the clients after they call or chat with us. This, of course, means I need to include Emacs on my workflow so I can suffer less, let's Elisp the heck out of this problem!

What are people's honest thoughts on Emacs?

Emacs, because "My OS is just a bootloader for Emacs!". 😁

Does anyone else accidentally use invalid keyboard shortcuts when doing something on a friend's computer? I use Emacs so everything is weird XD

Vim or emacs

Serious question, why do people prefer vim or emacs? I understand that they have alot of shortcuts and what not but so do other editor. Just curious. Don't kill me

Am I the only one who seems to have trust issues when saving code in my text editor? Whenever I want to save I press Ctrl+X+S like 5 times just to be sure.

NB: Ctrl+X+S is equivalent to Ctrl+S in Emacs/Spacemacs

What are your favorite gui editor (not just vim/emacs in console) for Linux that are not based on Electron and that are doing well with several langs?

Code editors as Doom skill levels:
coda = I'm too young to die.
notepad++ = Hey, not to rough.
sublime = Hurt me plenty.
vi = Ultra-Violence.
emacs = Nightmare!

I'm such a big dumbass causing a bad second-impression in my new job: missed the standup because I'm a retard at reading how Outlook shows you the time of a meeting when you accept it, the time shown is the time of the inviter not your local time! And that day-1 training? Had to be completed by yesterday. Had to message the higher up I knew and was available, own my shit and apologize. Received a call from the outsourcing company's boss as he got notify from HR of my faux pas with the training.

I need to do better...

Ok bois it's IDE / Text Editor time again.

I have had my fair share of usage with VSCode and i have been using VIM for over a year now.

With Vim i miss intellisense, class lookups etc.

VSCode doesn't provide the macro abilities i like in VIM and also doesn't support every edge case of file (giant files for instance).

Now i am at a certain dilemma. Do i use VSCode? Vim?

I am seriously considering trying emacs, but i don't know much about it.

What is your take on this?
Please respect each others choice, i don't want another fucking IDE religion war

Just firing up a new war which will be just as important in a few decades (if not today already) like Vim&Emacs.
So: Do you use 'string' or "string" in languages like JS, Python, ...?

!rant

Emacs vs Vim? Why not both!
I found a gem of an editor called Spacemacs which combines the power of Emacs and the editing capabilities of Vim! Already replaced intelliJ with spacemacs for my scala and Java projects :)

Do you use emacs?

If you do, how did you get started using it?

If you don't, why not?

In Unix everything does one thing and does it well. Except emacs which does everything really badly

There is no system but GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels.

Sainthood in the Church of Emacs requires living a life of purity—but in the Church of Emacs, this does not require celibacy (a sigh of relief is heard). Being holy in our church means exorcizing whatever evil, proprietary operating systems have possessed computers that are under your control, or set up for your regular use; installing a holy (i.e., wholly) free operating system (GNU/Linux is a good choice); and using and installing only free software with and on the system. Note that tablets and mobile phones are computers and this vow includes them.

Join the Church of Emacs, and you too can be a saint!

People sometimes ask if St IGNUcius is wearing an old computer disk platter. That is no computer disk, that is my halo — but it was a disk platter in a former life. No information is available about what kind of computer it came from or what data was stored on it. However, you can rest assured that no non-free software is readable from it today.

Reading vim vs emacs threads and I cant live without the navigator pane in my IDE.

Damn, mozart, i am trying to install it for the whole day, and now when i am able to finally install it, i dont know how to compile and run a piece of code in it. Why does anyone create such a language that works majorly on emacs, and also has no well enough documentation how to work with it, if by fluke someone installed it.

dev = true

I want to change my habitual stack and go in uncharted seas.

My habitual stack : Nodejs, angularjs/Angular, bootstrap/foundation.

This portfolio should be SEO ready and lightweight.

Thank you if you have some ideas so I can enjoy learn a new stack 😃"

When instead of propperly coding one ends up adding syntax highlighting to emacs for specific terms and just other fancy functions...
I mean hey, it is somewhat more readable now I guess. 🤷‍♀️
...
Guess I'm just distracted and aoiding the issue ^^'

I really love Ubuntu Mono and similar fonts, because they're nice to look at while coding, so I tried to use it in Emacs.

Man, what it produced is just... disgusting! I couldn't see anything even in Ubuntu Mono "normal" version (not bold, not italic) with size 10 (my normal size).

In smaller size I almost couldn't recognize characters in code, in bigger it yelled at me I'm blind. Wtf emacs...

woman(package) definition by Emacs:

-"browse UN*X manual pages `wo (without) man' "

-"woman is a built-in package."

Emacs, pls... :D

I've just fucked up my ssh config on one of my arch VM... Had to destroy it and make a new one ...
Fml

Arch, Emacs(configured to my liking) and ambient music.

VIM emulator for IntelliJ and Webstorm so fire. Best IDE with the best key bindings 👏

haha bitches behold my power, i use vim, emacs, vscode and sublime

Thought I would spend the sunday configuring Emacs with Python auto-complete. Any suggestions ?

I really wish Emacs had better integration with Windows. Vim is a wonderful text editor, but it just doesn't do everything I used Emacs for. If it were my choice, I'd only use Linux for everything, but unfortunately I have to use other people's computers since my personal system's hard disk is borked, and it's really unfortunate how poorly it works even with Cygwin. Oh well, can't have it all I guess.

Crazy: I had this issue with vc-state reporting 'edited on a visited file even after all changes made were pushed to the remote Git repository in a commit. Looking for answers in Emacs Stackexchange I find someone having the same issue --in a different context-- but with no replies, the question passed unanswered like six months... until now!. Took me one minute this time (I have been dragging this during two years or so) to find out we had vc-refresh-state which solves my issue and the issue of OP in Emacs Stackexchange.

It was a matter of hooking it with some Magit's hooks and you are ready to go!.

Emacs.

I dunno why but I feel at home while using Emacs. It is like, it provides everything I need.

Emacs is the reason why I screw my own agenda for Saturday, but sweet baby Jesus the mode-line now looks H O T for sure

(Neo)Vim. Nothing comes close, except Emacs after 2 weeks of configurations, and even then it's not nearly as consistent and fast.

Vim is one of the few programs that don't try to be smart and "help" me, and has the best approach to custom keybindings I've ever seen.

Emacs is fucken great!!! Fuck it!!

Vim vs Emacs!!!

I want to use Emacs more and more for my development stuff. I feel fairly comfy while developing server side stuff (clojure, haskell, ...) but I can't find a good setup for the client side.

Has anyone here experience with Emacs and React? Is there a good setup where stuff like format document etc. works? Is it event worth using emacs for the frontend or should I just stick to vscode?

FUCK. I'M DONE WITH THIS SHIT. CAN'T GET MY HEAD AROUND THIS.
My intelligence is limited to Java & Python.
NO VARIABLES, RETURN TYPES..NOTHING! JUST FUCKING MAGIC! AND ALSO, FUCK EMACS.

well, I'm free now. In case you need a freelance software developer with experience in Python, Go and React living overseas drop me a message :)

Hey guys, what's your favorite theme for text editor?
