I wish I could find a text editor I actually like using

@Areya it's what I'm using now. I would like it if it wasn't so slow.

@hauntedlatte @Areya I love Atom, but the speed javascript software really depends on the platform you're on, and I think linux is probably the fastest. Note if startup time is your primary issue, they're fixing it:
blog.atom.io/2017/04/18/improv

@nergdron @Areya I use the file finder thing quite a bit (cmd+p) and it seems like the longer I leave atom running, the slower that functionality becomes

@hauntedlatte @Areya IIRC that's expected behaviour of the fuzzy-finder plugin, unfortunately, because it indexes files in any directory you open a file from. so if you've opened big dirs from a bunch of different projects, it'll be trying to search in all of them, I think. toggling dis/enable on it would clear that I imagine.

@nergdron @hauntedlatte @Areya I use everything search as the backend to open files (in emacs). It's generally a fantastic portion for any file searching needs if you can either make a command line version work in your editor or the file associations work for you. I think the site is voidtools.

@hauntedlatte we can hook u up to vscode and some mastodon stuff :o

@hauntedlatte TextMate 2 is my default, although I'm now using Atom as my devenv for a number of things

@hauntedlatte I feel like TM2 is the closest to a "classic" Mac editor? Whereas Atom doesn't support some of the normal mac keybindings -- although you can rebind, it's like blargh.

(anyway, the search continues, nothing seems perfect...)

@krueger I was using sublime for a while but it's completely borked for me now. Whenever I launch it, it's stuck in the "the file has changed" dialog and I can't dismiss it 😐

@hauntedlatte Weird. I'd try deleting the whole profile for Sublime, but depending on your profile and plugin usage, that's a lot of work to recreate.

@krueger tried that already. I'm calling it a loss
