  I feel old, I'm still using vi.

  I do not code, so take what I say in that context. I use Geany because it does many things - and a guy who won a coding competition says he uses only Geany. Geany is far lighter than Atom (which is owned now by Microsoft). Geany handles markdown fairly well and I use mostly markdown. But, plan to learn a tiny bit of code. For terminal, i use use nano or something similar called micro. Both nano and micro can open/use markdown (.md) or .txt, and, though they cannot open .rtf, if i use Ranger terminal file manager, they can show the preveiwed contents of an .rtf file, but cannot open it to edit it that way. Geany can open .rtf if it has no graphics - so text only. If there is formatting added, though, it is an ugly sight. I am testing software on a slow HDD in order to have a very light, fast system and Geany does fine on it.

  "Cream is gVim, but with many features that should make editing easier for Vim beginners"
  i will try this out - - rationale :
  .1) only 1/3 of "Kate" 's footprint (16MB download, 74MB on HDD ) on xubuntu 20 lts
  .2) code folding (collapse and expand) and so many features even before plugins.

  just yell at me if this is a huge mistake !

  Switched to Geany recently, was using Notepadqq for a long time.

  Nvim

  Have been using Emacs for over a decade, and I'm fairly happy with it.

  I use neovim with little plugins. But I still need to learn how it works properly (I'm really lost but at least I know how to close it) I want to turn it on to an IDE. VS Codium is a great option too

  kitty terminal + neovim + Packager + COC + so many other things

  it's a joy, honestly

  I use Vim very often, but work recently bought me a license for PyCharm and I'm loving it.

  I suppose what you'll want to use depends on your use case. For what I use it for—mainly bash, python, and terraform—PyCharm works very well.

  used vim for like twenty years and then switched to nano
• Yujiri@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Micro!

  Kate + RStudio.

  I spend a lot of time working in R so RStudio is a practical choice. It could be better in many ways though, which is why I use Kate for general editing tasks.

  I'll make myself unpopular with Sublime Text and VSCode. 😆
  On the console, however, I actually use VIM almost exclusively.

  I'm using GNU Emacs, which is, from my experience, great for open source software and decentralized development. Last year, I found an issue in a package/extension, I could make an experiment by modifying and running its code on the fly. I didn't even need to reload the whole package/extension. So I figured the solution out and submitted a pull request quickly.

  Been trying graphical text editors here and there but the vi-emulators just aren't Neovim.
• SudoDnfDashY@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I only really use Vim. Mainly because vi is installed on basically every server and distro, so it is what I got used to.

  CudaText.
• ksynwa@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Neovim

  VS Codium is good, I also use a lot of NeoVIM in the terminal.
