Like Jill said: “It’s a good thing we have …
emacs
… heeheehee …”.After listening to the episode I was wondering, is there a difference between an IDE and a text editor? My understanding of an IDE, is an application where you can edit and run the code from within that application Wikipedia definition.
Am I misunderstanding the intent of the podcast?
Cloning ChrisAtTheMachine’s build is a completely different animal to actually using it as awesome as it is.
I think the big difference is copying
vscodium
’s features in*vim
means stepping well outside of official support and while you’re supposed to do that, you’re still having to develop features yourself and/or inherit all the quirks of a ton of personal projects which’ll usually (though not always) have a sole maintainer who may or may not be active, may or may not care 1/2 a whit about repo security, have zero if not near-zero documentation spread out all over the place and have a limited pool of people who can help you if you get stuck with that particular part of your build.I now use
micro
(no plugins) and a ton ofbash
though that’s after ~2 years of beating my way into near-exclusive use ofvim
(which was near identical to neovim for my purposes) until I just got fed up of constantly having to futz with it and educating my way into obscurity. If someone takes to it and values freedom i’d say*vim
all the way and I think everyone should learn basicvi
but in my opinion it’s not the simple alternative it’s often billed as and it’s asking for a heap of work you wouldn’t otherwise have.I love vim and I use it, I never had the need to use anything else, but my use case is and always was pretty basic. Though I would rather recommend to learn vim or even neovim (never tried that one) and adapt or incorporate it into your personal workflow instead of just copying the dot files from the web by somebody else.
Doom Emacs to satisfy all actors involved?
