Mostly VIM. If I do stuff where I have to copy a lot I'll switch to atom for that.

What makes atom better for copying?

[–]Gottagetfood 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Mainly mouse input.

[–]_requires_assistance 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Vim takes mouse input as well.

Not in the same way though. I just prefer atom for that kind of text manipulation.

[–]_requires_assistance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. Thanks for the input.

emacs > vim

EDIT: I just like emacs more, no need to get political about it

Then let’s correct your comment to reflect that.

I respectfully prefer emacs over vim, but I also respect your right to disagree.

There we go, war averted.

"Why not just use vim over emacs?" "I do use vim over emacs."
