Nano gang, represent.

Like a enthusiast once said "People don't quit emacs, they just die at some point".

Why would I use Notepad? I'd have to install it first. Does it even have a Linux version or would I have to use Wine? This meme is giving me headaches.

That's just the sign of a deeper illness. Soon you'll be installing a disk defragger.

Notepad++ is the only thing I miss from Windows.

*opens up customized nano*

I just read a micro vs. nano. But each point in favor of micro was "i have that already in nano". Syntax highlighting, status bar with col/line, undo/redo, even mouse support.

I like both. But many people don't even realize that nano has quite a lot of configuration options. To me, they're text editors, not code editors. For code, I use VSCode (or "code", the FOSS variant).

I have never heard of customisation for nano. That said, I'm quite pleased with programming my vim how I like it.

[-] Dohnakun@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, but for a quick edit or glance, nano-syntax-highlight and lesspipe with highlight or bat are nice.

Who in the actual fuck uses notepad?

[-] Gork@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

You would think that Microsoft would have implemented better functionally by now. Yeah they had WordPad but that sucked too.

Like, c'mon, allow me to alt-highlight blocks of text already.

can we please forget about this meme template?

[-] alcasa@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago

Every editor has its place but this meme would make more sense with any IDE (vscode, eclipse, intellij) than notepad

[-] dog@suppo.fi 5 points 1 year ago

Nah, IDE's go in the top bar, big brain is still notepad and alikes.

[-] simple@lemmy.mywire.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed.

I once worked on a team in a company who had to ssh into a server and do all the development work on that server. So all we could use was either vim or emacs. I had my vim decked out with all the plugins and customizations, and it was fine.

But after you get back to using an IDE (especially an IDE with a vim plugin), it's hard to go back

In my experience, once you've used any text editor with an LSP implementation it's hard to go back to an IDE

[-] priapus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Most people use IDE's, having them where notepad is would not make sense on a bell curve.

[-] hedgehog@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

Along that line of thought, you could do

  • “text editor” (meaning Notepad, Nano, etc) on the left,
  • IDE in the center,
  • and “text editor” (meaning Vim, Emacs, VSCode, Sublime, etc.) on the right
[-] priapus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

That's exactly how I would've made it

What are the x and y axis?

[-] madeindjs@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

IQ on X, percentage of the population on Y

[-] Dohnakun@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Huh, it's wrong then.
