i think i'm good......

@nik SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYY

@nik I used to be a Sublime guy, switched to vscode too. Still surprised at how well it works for an electron app

@Moon @nik neovim master race reporting in

@NEETzsche @nik I'm gonna try emacs sooner or later

@Moon @nik

I did most of my web coding in exclusively notepad++ when I started learning

@orekix @nik I used to use an editor called UltraEdit in Windows which was really good, but I changed jobs and they wouldn't buy UltraEdit so I started using Notepad++ and it's pretty great. I ran it in Linux under WINE for a couple years until Sublime Text came out.

@orekix @Moon i started on nano lol

@nik @orekix at university we had pico, it's been a long time but I think the mail program pine opened the mail in pico.

@Moon same to both

@nik @Moon i used to be FAR editor guy, then Notepad++ fan, then Eclipse peasant, IDEA king, shortly after vimfag and finally (space|doom)emacs enjoyer

@Moon @nik

I used gedit when I had to be on linux, then learned vim and it's what I still try to use most of the time, if the project big I'll use vscode

@orekix @nik some guy, maybe a gnome or npm guy I can't remember, wrote a really passive-aggressive blog post about how he codes in gedit and whenever he tells people that they sneer at him. His point was something about not judging people's editor choices, but honestly I read it and was like, this is not convincing, you just sound stubborn

@hj @nik @Moon i don't really care what people use as long as they customize it (= they're not an IDE Baby or a normie)

@hj @Moon @nik to clarify IDE Baby is someone who is helpless without one, not someone who can function without it and chooses to use it for some reason

@icedquinn @nik @Moon most java devs are IDE babies because somehow project compilation is often tied to IDE

@hj @icedquinn @nik I fought this so much at my last job, I was responsible for a build server so I had made maven config for the project but everybody used the Eclipse settings to build so they would get out of sync and then blame me.

@Moon @hj @nik i seem to remember that maven is suffering to use.

i remember you can get eclipse and netbeans to use ant which is a good way out. visual studio has xml project files too so you can meta-model the build and dump project files for it.

@icedquinn @hj @nik There's well-supported maven support in eclipse, you just gotta use it. but yeah maven sucks, gradle is better. anybody that does java professionally has to learn maven though because you're gonna run into it.

@icedquinn @nik @Moon iirc even if you use maven you still might have issues because IDE compilation != maven compilation

@Moon @nik I still have my sublime text although what I thought was a lifetime license recently expired which is a bit annoying. I have a lot of people telling me how great vscode is but I'm a stubborn curmudgeon. I actually like vim a lot, and I have a few things that make it about as natural as any other editor to use.

@Moon @hj @nik [comfy in the pascal 'just run build lol it just works out' hours]

@icedquinn @hj @nik I use a framework called vert.x, maybe it's smarter to incorporate gradle or maven in there but I never felt the need.

@rain @nik I used to run vscodium but the ssh plugin didn't work with it so I gave in :-(
