How to start a fight with old-school nerds everwhere.

"The editor wars are over. VScode won."

#editors #vim #emacs #microsoft #vscode

CrashCarroll,

@roygreenhilt
Grr! I'm coming to your house! By the way, where do you live? :)

There will be another new popular winner in the editor wars at some point. #emacs - my favorite - won't be that winner, or the next winner after that. But Emacs will be around, and it will continue to be very, very good. All you #vim, #sublimetext #textmate #notepadplusplus #atom #vscode users you are all still my brothers and sisters in software development. Though I have to say I am still giving the hairy eyeball to you Vim folks :)

Learned about yesterday and installed it today to take a look. Looks like fun so far. Has its own css file for look and feel. Can't say I'll use it over - the interface is a little sluggish by comparison, which is only to be expected with GTK, but hey - that's never the point with me. :-)

First order of business, figuring out how to force it to single-instance mode..
