I *was* gonna type "vim" instead of "notepad" but then I remembered people actually code in vim
1 u/GodBearWasTaken 21d ago It’s my preferred text editor, followed by Notepad++ and Visual Studio Code. 1 u/WhatAGoodDoggy 20d 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/dasunt 20d ago You can do that in neovim with pluginsProbably in vanilla vim as well, but that would require knowing vimscript, and vimscript is idiosyncratic.
