Bell curve of text editors
(lemmy.world)
I use vim btw
Like a enthusiast once said "People don't quit emacs, they just die at some point".
Nano gang, represent.
Why would I use Notepad? I'd have to install it first. Does it even have a Linux version or would I have to use Wine? This meme is giving me headaches.
*opens up customized nano*
I just read a micro vs. nano. But each point in favor of micro was "i have that already in nano". Syntax highlighting, status bar with col/line, undo/redo, even mouse support.
I like both. But many people don't even realize that nano has quite a lot of configuration options. To me, they're text editors, not code editors. For code, I use VSCode (or "code", the FOSS variant).
I have never heard of customisation for nano. That said, I'm quite pleased with programming my vim how I like it.
/etc/nanorc
Yes, but for a quick edit or glance, nano-syntax-highlight and lesspipe with highlight or bat are nice.
Treesitter and native LSP levels the playing field pretty handily IMO.
Who in the actual fuck uses notepad?
You would think that Microsoft would have implemented better functionally by now. Yeah they had WordPad but that sucked too.
Like, c'mon, allow me to alt-highlight blocks of text already.
Notepad ++
Seems like the right side should be classic terminal tools like ed. Or any other cat/echo/etc where you change the contents of the file without opening it (or all of it) directly.
Every editor has its place but this meme would make more sense with any IDE (vscode, eclipse, intellij) than notepad
Nah, IDE's go in the top bar, big brain is still notepad and alikes.
Most people use IDE's, having them where notepad is would not make sense on a bell curve.
Along that line of thought, you could do
- “text editor” (meaning Notepad, Nano, etc) on the left,
- IDE in the center,
- and “text editor” (meaning Vim, Emacs, VSCode, Sublime, etc.) on the right
That's exactly how I would've made it
Agreed.
I once worked on a team in a company who had to ssh into a server and do all the development work on that server. So all we could use was either vim or emacs. I had my vim decked out with all the plugins and customizations, and it was fine.
But after you get back to using an IDE (especially an IDE with a vim plugin), it's hard to go back
In my experience, once you've used any text editor with an LSP implementation it's hard to go back to an IDE
can we please forget about this meme template?

What are the x and y axis?
IQ on X, percentage of the population on Y
Huh, it's wrong then.
