  • Thanks for the suggestions. I have not tried the recent vscode. I had tried it way back in uni and really didn’t like it at the time so never tried it again but I have also heard positive things about it from some other people so probably time to reevaluate. I think for me, must haves are: it must work with python and C minimal. Autocompletion, function definition, goto, code linting are the first things that come to mind (don’t need debugger and I guess that is not an editor’s job, python has its own module and for C there is gdb for advanced needs). In VIM, I could achieve these via plugins ofcourse.

    I also haven’t tried Helix but Neovim was on my mind for a while. Are Helix and Neovim different from each other in terms of editor mode styles? I will also check Pulsar (continuation of Atom), hopefully soon I will get an editor that I feel at home with.


  • maybe a couple years ago but for instance I think AI is definitely becoming more realistically applicable with each iteration. It could definitely be used more to remove some of the boiler plates in coding, like simple unit tests etc.

    Also there are IDEs which are very good for their specific languages but I feel like it is hard to find a reliable editor that has core IDE capabilities for many languages (like go to function definitions, code linting etc). I even started using VIM because of this but I just can’t get used to modal editors and feel like there is no point in using VIM if I am only using %5 of its capabilities.
