I use Atom.
For Web Dev work, I love to use Brackets - Might have a look at Atom though.
When I was a teenager my fellow sysadmin peers would always give me a hard time about using pico telling me REAL sysadmins use vi or vim. Peer pressure be damned because I use nano to this day on linux. I use Notepad++ on Windows. I really only use Notepad++ to read text files and for some light web development (my custom whmcs theme, html/css/js/php).
The Obsidian style with Notepad++ is sexy.
Notepad++ always.
Even if I only have to change about a dozen lines, I'll SFTP in so I can use notepad++.
Notepad++
Nano
I use Atom on windows for things that i do that are git based or ftp based. Notepad++ for everything else.
Atom is quite nice if its a lot of writing you are doing, while notepad++ is just great all around
Nano on linux, never got the hang of vi.
Text editor or code, I use Sublime
I'd bet most people have the same issue, I know I did. I learnt about
1,$dnot too long ago... pico always seemed easier to 'just use'.Day to day I use gedit.
That's an odd comment - what if I'm not writing Python?
JetBrains products are nice but I classify them as IDEs, not text editors. No one whips out IntelliJ to write an essay.
Ah, Wordstar! you're right, maybe that is WS. I was never a WS guy but those bindings have had a powerful influence...it's quite possible that MS Word still has an option to switch to WS bindings. If not, then it was removed relatively recently because you could in the 2003 version I believe.
If you have Sublime, and you use it, why would you switch back and forth? Notepad++ is fine, no argument there, but I would think you'd use one or the other for everything.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...just curious.
In Linux, I prefer "vim" because it is colorful and easy to identify the variables used.
Really enjoying sublime!
On Linux I like Gedit. I'm not fan of the more recent GUI changes, but the features are all still there. I usually set it to display line numbers, wrap lines, break words across lines, highlight current line, and use the kate layout so I can easily distinguish the line numbers from numbers in the lines. On Windows I just use Notepad.
I use Sublime 3, it's quite good, and it's available for all platforms which is a very big plus. Depending on your programming language you can set it up, so it can perform almost like an IDE. I use it mainly for any work involving PHP, HTML, CSS, JS. Themes make it look cool, it has a lot of features. I recommend you to try it and if you like it support the developer by buying the full version.
Best regards!
