Which Editor Is Best?

I think for now VsCode is getting very much goody at developer side, even thou sublime text 4 is faster . But if Onivim take these two and combine their goodie then it will be the best .

What is best?

To crush your requirements, see them driven before your tests, and hear the exultations of their authors.

And what editor is best for that?

THE ONE YOU KNOW WELL ENOUGH TO BE PRODUCTIVE IN.

If that’s plain old Notepad, so be it. If it’s VSCode or Eclipse or Atom or RubyMine or whatever, so be it. If it’s vi or emacs, you’ve probably been around longer than to need this advice.

I’m a big fan of using the tool that is best for the job. There is no “Best” Editor. All of them have tradeoffs and knowing what your needs are will help find the best editor your your needs. VSCode is one of the best editors for TypeScript/JavaScript development out of the box. Vim/NeoVim/Emacs are all excellent editors that you can tailor to your own needs and the longer you use them the faster you will be with them. If you need a powerful IDE experience the jetbrains editor for the language you use will be very productive.

In the end I am a huge fan of Vim and Neovim. I find the modal editing paradigm very productive for me and I really enjoy learning and using plugins created by the community. After many years developing with vim/neovim I just can’t use modern editors for long without giving up and going home to vim (an vim plugins/bindings just don’t work the same as vim itself)

Yeah, I am trying it too and I like it. Have a few customizations on the side as well.
