NOTEPAD++ 8.1.1 release for Windows now finally has Dark Mode! I love this program and it's the only thing I think I'll actually miss from Windows if/when I finally migrate to Mint.

Nice computer names. I'm just stoked that you use notepad++

This one rolls on windows and linux, every 10 saves it nags you to buy it: https://www.sublimetext.com/

Sublime is like you gave up and finally only did frontend.

Sorry when i have to reattach your heads this way.

And btw: i name my machines after what they actually are: so a Nokia 5.4 is a smartphone. An x240 is a notebook. There is only one machine that actually against this convention is named "enterprise". @enterprise. I hope one you can wrap your heads around network aliases because there is a reason why i only shorten one id.

EVERY backend guy, i know will rather use vim. And if he has some balls on him he even will try emacs.

But you're excused so far as i suppose you never did erlang.

You're right, I've never coded in Erlang. I did try LISP once upon a time though.

I'm done with the text editor wars. Anyone who codes without an IDE and deep mouse driven menus to make their code run is fine by me.

Sublimetext actually got me more interested in vim, after learning about fuzzy file finding, and jumping to functions in the same file.

Vim is really nice. It's my standard sw for almost everything. Especially when i got the emacs pinky ache/disease again after abusing it on my laptop where i can't reconfigure the ctrl-button to be on caps-lock. If you're interested in doing emacs and stuff like lisp with it, i suggest you also learn dvorak- (or some other "effiency"-oriented) keyboard config with it from the start, because starting emacs is hard anyways so you just give your learning curve a little more starting offset for a combined exponential payoff in work-efficiency. I bought stickers for dvorak e. g. but now i don't need them anymore.

Another pro on vim is that i so far encountered no distro where it isn't installed out of the box. For emacs this makes no sense because especially when you (re) start with it (e. g. on a new computer) you spend more time configuring it than actually using it.
