atom is so good you can’t even find a transparent version of its logo

[ClickbaiterZ]

Notepad isn't GOAT but those who code using it are GOAT😂

[robss]

yea, that's not the code editor tier list, it's best html editor tier list

[mikeyangyang]

Dude is the most out of touch programmer who is stuck in 2015.

[tcortega]

lmao, social media “devs” these days in a nutshell

The OG Code Editor is to use electric eels to generate electricity, which in turn generates a binary program sufficient to do anything. ANYTHING.

[alphenex]

Bro seriously put Notepad++ higher than Sublime 💀

[ShiloBuff]

You put the discontinued editor above VSCode. Might as well discontinue your software dev career while you are at it.

Bad take on emacs, emacs allows extensibility that no other editor offers. Especially with org-mode, emacs turns into a powerhouse of possibilities. Note taking, writing, planning, etc are just a few things emacs enables alongside powerful packages to make your coding experience much more simple.

The vim take I understand on the surface, however vim bindings are very useful for every programmer and system administrator to learn. On top of making you much faster at writing code, vi is standard on almost all systems today outside of windows and macos (iirc). If nano isn't available you could be stuck with vi. And neovim today is becoming extremely powerful, even challenging the capabilities of emacs in the long run I believe, all while being extremely fast and lightweight.

I used to us Atom, and then all of a sudden it started getting slower and slower. Eventually took to long to load to make it worth it

[mrlon]

sublime is underrated IMO, its very fast compared to VSCode

[bikram]

I vote for Intellij IDE for best IDE ever existed.

[imAngryy]

I used notepad++ bc it was the easiest to get downloaded and start using 🤣

[imma]

I wish they never discontinued atom. That was my go-to for writing web based code. VS code is a decent alternative, but atom was just way easier to work with imo

[Gabriel-hgfl]

Emacs is most powerful tool in this list, but number of people who can use it at 100% is much smaller than vim.

[JimCarrey]

Doom/spacemacs with evil keybinding has always been my preferred editer. I personally don’t think that it’s dated and I enjoy using it, but it’s more preference than anything else.

[ridhamsharma]

VS code deserve GOAT. It is very versatile and flexible because of the extentions which makes programming in every language easier. You can personalize easily so it is easily a GOAT 🐐 and there are a lot of shortcuts which makes everything faster. You can easily make your own snippets which makes everything easier

[ZacharyCrespin]

I don’t like when people hate on notepad; we all know it’s tremble but that is where I learned to code and I thank many others can say the same.

[daniele]

problem with atom is that it's incredibly slow with large file and it crashes with really large files

[milkyway]

Everyone has one wierd guy who uses emacs

But when he opened the editor, he flew like sonic
