Everyone has their favorite editor. For quick-and-dirty stuff, Vim is what I always use. It is usually installed on any Linux distro and just works. For coding, I have migrated to VSCode for real work. ( even with my total hatred of MS) It is, by far, the best IDE for the projects I do. Mostly because it has PlatformIO well-integrated and the Python support is great, including support for pipenv. The other thing about VSCode that I have found indispensable is the ability to run it on a remote system via SSH; it self-installs and looks just like a local program. I sometimes forget I'm actually connected to a system across the country.
I have tried to love emacs for 20 years but just never felt the love back. Keep up the great work, DT.

I've been using Vscodium lately and I love it, when it comes to writing a LaTeX document or using it as an IDE, however, all those features are useless when it comes to pure text editing. If I have to edit a file, I just open vim without even thinking about it, it's built into my muscle memory.
And even when I need a more interactive environment, vim is still fine, if you use a tiling window manager. For instance, rather than using that orrible GUI IDE that Octave (or worse, MATLAB) has, I simply run Octave in the terminal and vim next to it. No need for something like Vscodium or anything similar, it feels like there's so much wasted space on my screen.

I have a love hate relationship with Atom. I love it, and the initial load time means absolutely nothing to me, considering that if I'm launching Atom, I'm in there for hours.
But I tend to always go back to VScode, the extension support right out of the box is second to none.
Just for context, I use either Atom or VScode for web development primarily. I tried Doom Emacs for web dev, but just didn't quite like the workflow for that particular task. However Doom Emacs is my editor of choice for more programming intensive tasks or just hacking away at configs.

The
Top 6 text editors for me are as follow
- Acme, more of an interface than an editor. It's like the Unix philosophy version of Emacs.
- Sam, Structural regular expressions are real nice
- Ed is the standard editor, a part from that it fits anywhere. Even with the worst internet connect to a sever on the other side, ed will pull through.
- Vi is a classic, you all know it already
- Emacs is the closest thing to a modern lisp machine, a bit crufty but it's earned its keep
- Vis: vi plus structured regex, what more can you want.

Atom was used in my intro programming class and that was the first time I used Linux and probably the reason I got into it... I needed an IDE that could manage a project build and run it out of the box without adding stuff to it so I would prob use Code::Lite now for a C++ project , but I have to use Visual Studio for MASM now and I've been using Intellij for Java class.. but I would def say that Atom is a solid choice for people who just need something simple to write code.

I wish there was free and open source IDE as good as Visual studio (not code, the big one). I tried codeblocks and eclipse, because i had good experience with them in the past (although both on Windows and i used eclipse for java), but i couldn't get any of them to work for me. I use neovim with bunch of plug-ins, but i miss their refactoring possibilities and straight forward debugging.

Vscodium user here. I have recently moved from Atom, which is undeniably more customizable and arguably looks better. The reason? I feel like since GitHub got acquired, less plugins developers are working on it. There is also the thing about the speed, of course

Yes it is a big deal having the only alternative as LBRY. From the outset it seemed too good to be true. They could host anywhere else. There are TONS of hosts they couldve chosen and they chose the 2 most compromised hosts. This is telling.

I've seen people installing atom, because it has something like a store I believe where you can install packages like syntax highlighting for various obscure languages. I use emacs for doing C and I'd never change it for anything else.
