Pulsar (former Atom) is still the best code editor in my opinion. It is easiest and fastest to use, has all the nice productivity boosting plugins and is overall great for all the same reasons the Atom was great. ๐Ÿš€

Counter-point: Atom is terrible. Its electron competitors are terrible. Big IDEs are terrible. Simple text editors are terrible.

If you are under 50 and chose to learn vim or emacs, there is a 100% chance that you were also forced to learn latin at school and honestly it's not your fault that you turned out this way.

These are all the options. Sometimes all the options are terrible.

I'm under 50 and I know Vi because it was always available on every Linux/BSD system i used from the day i discovered Linux as a up to now

There are actually a lot of people learning latin

Yep, I learned a good bit of it in school. That shit's helpful.

Me too, but I never found it helpful. What's your experience in using it in life?

Vim or emacs? I mean I know they were created a long time ago, but they are both pretty good pieces of software, both highly configurable. I don't understand people aversion to them, rather than having the false belief that they are too complicated? When in reality they just aren't intuitive in terms of modern stuff. But they aren't difficult, just different.
