@afarian Well, atom was inspired by SublimeText, but it's not FOSS. I still stick with vim πŸ˜… .

@eggplant I'm using VIM right now (in terminal). I don't really want to dish out the $$ for Sublime.

@afarian If you're comfortable with vim and want something probably more convenient, you can try neovim.io/. But I don't have any personal experience with it. I just know that it's out there. :)

@eggplant Thank you, I'll take a look at it! :)

@afarian Visual Studio Code is also electron based I think, but performs much better than Atom IMO. Give it a try!

@rizele Yeah, it is electron based, which is why I haven't tried it yet. I'll give it a try!

@afarian @steckerhalter
spacemacs is an emacs distribution that was originally aimed towards vim users. you could check it out.

@jaan_paul thanks! I'll definitely check it out!
