;) I didn't want to wait and see if @misty@lemmy.zip would make a text editor one. So I just made my own. :)

ed is the one, true, standard text editor.
I considered whimsically including ed or butterflies, maybe as honourable mention, or as wish to use in the future. [/xkcd378]

I'm a micro fanboy.
writing a text editor in a shell language is certainly... a choice. also this kinda feels like an ad for your own project.
anyway i've gone notepad, np++, eclipse, sublime, atom, vim, nvim, back to vim, then vis, then vim again, and now helix, which i'll hopefully stick with a while. worst has gotta be the GMod Wiremod Expression editor. honorable mention to acme.
Don't use fin. It, like all my stuff, is scruffy.
It's just honestly my fave (~ Would be weirder if I were writing it masochistically to not be my fave). Wrote it with intention of using it in the future.
as long as you're having fun and learning. although i don't know if it's dogfooding if you're a one-man band; seems more like just cooking.
had an itch, and when the whim took inspiration, scratched it.

I'd make my own reply but this person speaks for me.
for GUI I use sublime and for terminal I use nano
its a peaceful life
interesting how things turned out today. no one will spend time configuring an editor anymore, and just use a pre-configured, possibly web based, default.
I started with ms dos edit/borland. moved to Linux and emacs/xemacs shortly after (this was when the two editors were split).
got emacs pinky and moved to vim. stayed with vim for 15+ years. finally moved to neovim (because of the Firefox extension firenvim)
find modules/nixvim/ -name "*.nix" -type f -exec cat {} + | wc -l
3890
I'd say I've spent enough time configuring neovim π
(Btw, highly recommend configuring neovim through nixvim if you're already using nix. Incredibly stable. I had to fix one plugin or another all the time with plain nvim. Now, literally never. Plus, nix run github:<username>/<repo>#nvim on any nix-enabled system, and get dropped into your exact config, keybinds, theme, plugins and all. I've set it up to expose language-enabled variants by appending e.g. .go or .python to that command.)
(Sorry my comments tend to go off-topic)
interesting how things change. i started out downloading scripts from vim.org before the github days. finally after 10years I got fed up and looked for a plugin manager. moved to packer.
a couple of years later, that went dead so I was forced to move again. now I'm on lazy.nvim which works well for me.
nvim decided to ship a default plugin manager. im dreading the day I have to migrate to that... (not cause it's better/worse, but cause migrating is a pain)
My fave comment. Handy.

Well call me "no one".

(... not to mention having written my own, in fish, since I know fish better than I know elisp (despite using them for around the same length of time), with the goal of it being simple to extent and reconfigure for fish users (like me, wanting a better handle on my text editor reconfiguring and learning how to better use the configuration language.)).
emacs pinky
setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
Save you, it can. ;)
Though, then there's also evil-mode, and spacemacs and doomemacs, which I think both have evil-mode on by default.
I'd swapped control and capslock almost immediately and still got emacs pinky. when I found vim, I decided I liked it more than the escape meta alt control shift madness, and quit. the vim script was better than elisp, but not great. neovim lua is better than vim script, but still a little lacking.
i too have thousands of lines in my neovim config... but if I was starting today, the point and click editors are adequate enough that I might not invest the time.
that said, I just added two plugins into my config today ππ
Least liked: any that feel the need to advertise themselves on social media
I'm a typewriter guy.
I love my olivetti Linea90 as a work horse, for leisure typing it is either an olivetti Lettera DL or a Princess 300.
I'm guessing it's a bit difficult to edit config files on it? π€
not really, llms have become quite good at extracting text from scans. /s
Because of the missing characters
:D Nice additional categories.
My "least liked" is also my "will never use".
Never had any forced on me.
In Linux I use code for coding, and nano for everything else
Nano
Immolo? Is that you?
