Editors and IDEs

Editors and IDEs

In general, I don't evangelize and particular IDE, but i will caution all users to consider the following:

• Plugin architecture and community

• Much of the usefulness of a modern editor comes from the plugins/extensions

• The more plugins/extensions already exist, the greater the chances are that something you want is already available
• The ease at which new plugins/extensions can be created increases the chances that people continue to make new plugins/extensions

• As well as the chances that you can make your own plugins/extensions

• Disk Space to install

• Mostly matters on laptops with small drives

• Memory footprint

• Some use far more ram than others
• Large file handling

• Atom
• Gedit
• Sublime
• emacs
• nano
• notepad-plus-plus
• plugins-extensions
  • Git-Temporal
  • beautify
  • color picker
  • emment
  • git-graph
  • git-time-machine
• vim
• vsCode
• vsCodium
