Yes, the title the author chose is a bit err, clickbaity. But there were still decent introductions to few old IDEs. Maybe if he had covered more(maybe some niche ones?), it would have been better.

Yes. A much less boomer-coded article would be better.

But as someone who has actually used a lot of the various IDEs over the decades and keeps coming back to vim (and is already expecting to go back to vim within a year because of invasive copilot shit...): Those niche editors? They are either genuinely bad ideas (think TempleOS levels of insanity) or they became plugins for every other IDE. I like vim a lot but emacs is the same (actually emacs is an OS with a text interface but...). And many of those plugins ALSO exist for vscode and atom/sublime and so forth.

Because good (uncopyrighted...) ideas propagate. That is development and design.

Yes, emacs is a fine operation system. All it lacks is a decent code editor.

It has Evil if that's your thing :)

I dislike that it takes way too long to boot, but IMO the defaults are just fine.

I dislike that it takes way too long to boot

  1. Use the Daemon, it starts a new client in a fraction of a second
  2. Improve your config and it'll start in under a second anyways
[-] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

TBF, I don't even remember why I stopped using the daemon. But it's currently 3 seconds, so I dislike it... but not so much that I'd prioritize solving the problem versus complaining about it on the internet...

Anyway, I'm adding the server into my DE's startup. Thanks for the reminder.
