Ask Slashdot: Correlation Between Text Editor and Programming Language?

Posted by Soulskill on from the fortran-and-a-stack-of-recycled-construction-paper dept.

tyggna writes: "The flame wars of different shells and text editors have long been established, but my question is this: are text editors and various languages linked? Do the majority of Ruby programmers use Emacs? Are most Perl programmers using vim?

Please post your editor and language of choice in the comments."

    I use vim for almost 100% of all editing. My main programming language is C++

    We use visual studio constantly, every day, usually with multiple large projects open per box at a time, building to Debug, pushing and pulling from git repo's, and being really productive in the process. Apparently running it on a 486 with 256mb of RAM is, well, your fucking problem. Get a box that can support and IDE, or use notepad. There are hundreds of thousands of VS users that can call bullshit on your rant.

    Is not. But there's only a neutered version of vim too, so either way you're installing something.

    He's not joking.

    Open emacs.
    Type the command "xdoctor".

    Best part: no copay.
