For me, I’ve been looking into Lapce and lite-xl a lot recently. I really like the idea of extremely lightweight text editors that try to compete with Codium (libre binary of VScode).

What text/code editors do y’all use? I want to try them out.

    vim, no fancy configs or anything because I want it to always work the same on remote servers that I work on vs my local

    eclipse for java (god I hate my job)

    Honestly I used to use notepad++ on windows for general use and IDEs/terminals as appropriate, but its such dogshit on linux (they say just use the windows version with wine! and the Qt clone of it has some key features for me broken, like bad autosave) that I almost entirely use vim. I guess sometimes gedit to open things graphically.

        they dont tell me what to use and I dont do enough development to want an intelliJ license particularly, which is what my coworkers use

        never used neovim but it looks neat. might have to try it. but ultimately my like of vim is mostly that its usually preintalled and the same everywhere. My text editing is pretty distributed across different systems that dont have neovim no any of my custom configs for much of anything
