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:

@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.
