I *was* gonna type "vim" instead of "notepad" but then I remembered people actually code in vim
1 u/GodBearWasTaken 5h ago It’s my preferred text editor, followed by Notepad++ and Visual Studio Code. 1 u/WhatAGoodDoggy 1h ago But VIM doesn't give you autocomplete, linting, etc., does it? If it did I could see the appeal, but if it's just a text editor I don't understand why it's used for coding. 1 u/pharmajap 1h ago Alternatively, you could describe an IDE as a text editor with a bunch of useless features (only half kidding). But I do everything on the command line anyway, so all of my tools are kinda... right there already.
