Slashdot Mirror

FYI, this is the same company that took the 3rd most popular add-on for SublimeText and silenty added ads and spyware (err, telemetry) to it.

Sounds like someone who you want to trust with your company's source code, indeed.

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Sublime Text?

and if you still have it, that Sublime CD you borrowed.

Since when does Sublime come on CD-ROM?

(I don't practice Santeri'a either.)

OK, let's see:

https://www.sublimetext.com/
https://code.visualstudio.com/
https://atom.io/
https://panic.com/coda/ (nice example of low-contrast website as well)
https://www.jetbrains.com/webs...

That was pretty fucking easy.

If you want more examples then just type something like "best text editor" into google images and weep at the acres of grey-on-grey images that appear.

Here, let me do it for you seeing as how you're a bit out of the loop: https://encrypted.google.com/s...

Of course, Notepad++ is good enough for most simple C/C++ programs, or small bugfixes. Anyone recommend a decent Linux equivalent?

Sublime Text is the [proprietary] Linux equivalent of Notepad++. Geany is also fairly close but a bit lighter weight. Both worth checking out.

Is this what you are talking about?

You don't even need a text editor if you use a site such as CodePen.

Who has access to a computer that doesn't have a text editor?!? Even if the default ones that come with Windows or Mac OS X are pretty much throw-aways, there are plenty of free text editors for either one, including NotePad++ for Windows or TextWrangler for the Mac, and Sublime which is available on both.

http://www.sublimetext.com/for... gives you a good start. But really; the best way to find out is to fire Sublime up and see; it's pretty self-explanatory for much of it (although having the vi mode plugin disabled by default can be a bit jarring until you figure out how the plugin system works).

It's not libre, but it is gratis mIRC-style nagware, and makes for a fantastic IDE. Sublime Text.

Looks like Sublime Text as a web browser. Now when you screw up, you're tab will show a frowny face.

Sublime Text , a (pricey) text editor, has a "Distraction Free Mode" in which it takes up your entire screen. You won't be able to see blinking icons or notifications of incoming emails, etc. You can still tab off easily enough, but there is less of a temptation to do so.

Did you expect an OS built by programmers for programmers to have lousy programming tools? If you want to use the hip closed source editor your can get Sublime Text. The fact is the major problem with development in Linux is languages and APIs. Perhaps I should rephrase that that: the problem is Java sucks which is why Google had to bother with developing things like Dalvik and Go. The problem is Go also sucks. Sorry Rob Pike.

Download and evaluate the full version for free... it does produce a dialog box on every 20th save asking if you would like to buy, which is fairly unobtrusive.

$59 for a single user license. Bulk discounts apply

Since it was recommended by colleagues at a new place, I enjoyed it after 5 minutes, loved it after an hour, and depend on every day. I have come to depend on it's features like editing with mutiple cursors, simple interface and keyboard controls as alternatives to switching to the menus.

Even though the nag dialog is not much of a nag we intend to buy licenses as it is stable, feature packed and fast.

The $59 is a lot less than the cost of the time it has saved me (or cost me in crashes).

Sublime is kinda taking textmates place.

Sublime Text is an excellent programmer's text editor that I use daily. It has support for tons of languages (and variants on those), automatic indentation, bracket completion, quote completion, a "memory" feature (knows variables you've typed), extensions support, and even compiling features. It has a full portable version, with nothing cut out. I'd highly recommend it, as the trial is unlimited (and the license is cheap for a tool this high quality - only $60).

I recommend against WYSIWYG editors and instead work with tools that provide "live reload", refreshing your page in the browser without hitting the refresh button. Google for it but there are plugins and and bunch of projects on github for various editors and frameworks.

For editors, my personal choice is Sublime: http://www.sublimetext.com/ But Redcar http://redcareditor.com/ was a runner up and I used to use Eclipse.
