Oh yeah I remember netbeans from my school days. Was a quite nice one, but we more or less used it like a glorified texteditor with some buttons (except for the UI editor. Used that quite a lot).

Im now exactly 2 months in

I use the normal mode

i think it really depends on what you want to do, what languages you use and what text editor/ide you use. From my experience its usually not really worth it to get used to an IDE for bash. They all sucked. So instead I just have my emacs and my shell and I can start coding.

It depends on what you do, but generally I can’t argue against a debugger.

Already joined the emacs cult. Youre too late.

lol

Depends on where you start. When your first contact is HTML its not too unusual to use a text editor for development.

I think its Not to wird to have an opinion on the tools you use. Does it mean, that I Am an elitist who tells everyone, that they should use Emacs just because I like it? No!

See my other edited comment.

I did this for the past 3 years. At some point I just got curious what all the hype is about, so I installed emacs and slowly started to use it. Now I am at a point, where Im getting comfortable around emacs and actually start to enjoy its features.

Befor I usually used nano, since I mostly edited my text files from within my terminal.

That wikipedia article is pure comedy gold

Idk, this is the first time I used gitlab in private (i literally just set up my personal gitlab account for this, since pastebin complained about some parts of the code).

Edit: It should be publically visible now: https://gitlab.com/Aipathon/southpark-downloader

If i just want to edit a single file I usually just use nano since it gets used right in the command line and doesnt open a seperate window, but if I want to edit multiple files emacs is very nice, since I dont have to take my hands of the keyboard.

No (I already somewhat learned Emacs, I ain’t gonna learn something new)

Keep in mind, this is in production code that works in a testing environment, but is not ready yet. Theres also almost no documentation.

All time classic.

Im not going crazy just playing around a bit, remapping some keybindings and so on. It is in fact kind of fun.

(I actually just tried jumping to the first line of my comment while writing it using C-a, which is the default keybind for this in emacs. I think its getting worse. Aaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhh)

In my case it was a script, but for libraries this would hold true too.

Well, it was really just a script that has exact one purpose. I just split it up beautifully, so that my main function is very short.
