Re: [PLUG] Poll! editors (and possibly me burning at the stake)
|
pico here...actually i guess "pico" is an alias for nano in
ubuntu...i've used pico for years, and used to have to explicitly
install it in suse...then i switched to debian/ubuntu...typed "pico"
after an install, woohoo! already installed! then i realized it was
actually running nano, which as far as i can tell, is identical
keystroke-wise to pico. easy to use, powerful enough for me...

James- i've noticed a similar trend; my coding/developer friends tend
to use emacs whilst the sysadmin buddies i have tend to use vi.
Art- i totally forgot about the lesser ones, like Jed! as an added
bonus, jed has an "emacs emulation mode" and is a lot more lightweight
than emacs! i just found that interesting.

let's keep this going, i'm curious as to what the rest of you use!
Pico / Nano.
I just want a simple editor that doesn't effing require me to memorize
vast dictionaries of keycodes to do what I want to do, i.e. edit a text
file. I should be able to use the arrow keys, the delete key, and be
able to TYPE. I shouldn't have to enter "Edit Mode" since I'm in an
editor. I should just be able to edit!
Alternatively, I'll WinSCP to the Linux box and use Notepad++. I rarely
even use the GUI console any more. I'm debating removing X from it
totally. Putty and WinSCP do what I need.
