SiNNuT Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Looking good. Reminds me of ST3, but there seems to be a good filosophy and infrastructure behind it.
Joss Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 oh look - another editor with dark grey surround and luminous font on a black background. Do all editor makers think we all like such unhappy work environments? I think if a few more software developers made things light and fresh with a couple of flowers and the odd puppy round the edges, computer programming would be a much brighter and breezier occupation!
Soma Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Not enough spam on twitter we also need here oh look - another editor with dark grey surround and luminous font on a black background. Do all editor makers think we all like such unhappy work environments? I think if a few more software developers made things light and fresh with a couple of flowers and the odd puppy round the edges, computer programming would be a much brighter and breezier occupation! I often work in the dark at night and having a white background is killing my eyes...
Joss Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 It is probably years of working in trendy, darkened studios, but I really like light, warm rooms these days. Actually, even recording studios have gone that way now with many of the top ones having actual windows with real daylight! That has been a shock to the system for some of the old school.....
renobird Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Sublime Text 3 has all the bases covered. Dark background is much easier on my eyes. I switched when Textmate first came out and have never looked back. Joss, I hear you on recording studios — they are like the land time forgot when you are in there. "Oh, it's 3am, dark and raining outside. wow!"
adrian Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks for giving me yet another tool to try Just when I was thinking about switching from ST to Brackets I have another option to try. Have you guys seen this: http://blog.brackets.io/2013/05/31/better-javascript-debugging-with-theseus/ 1
onjegolders Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks for giving me yet another tool to try Just when I was thinking about switching from ST to Brackets I have another option to try. Have you guys seen this: http://blog.brackets.io/2013/05/31/better-javascript-debugging-with-theseus/ Brackets always excites me with its features but when I try it it's painfully slow and unusable. 1
Joss Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 The Adobe Edge Code version of brackets seems a little bit quicker, but it is still slower than Sublime. I do find myself falling back to TextPad which I have used for years. 1
renobird Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I agree. Brackets has a lot of promise — but not ready for primetime (yet).

Brackets has a lot of promise — but not ready for primetime (yet). Thanks for the feedback guys - I hadn't tested thoroughly yet, although maybe the size of the .app file should've rung some alarms - pretty huge for a text editor!
renobird Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I'm spoiled by ST3 being essentially instant with everything. 1
Marty Walker Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I've just got my head around ST2! I'll stick with ST for a bit unless there's a compelling reason to use Atom.
diogo Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 For those interested, this one http://zedapp.org/ that works as a chrome app and is a quite an interesting project. 4
onjegolders Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Sublime Text is one of those programs where I really do genuinely wonder how it could be any better. I guess some of the new features of Brackets are nice but the actual base of ST is lightning fast and practical. I'm always tempted to look elsewhere though, that's just because of my love of software though I guess.
diogo Posted March 25, 2014 Author Posted March 25, 2014 Just received my Atom invitation (can't use it because there's only for mac for now) and have two left to offer. Anyone that wants one send me a PM with the email
onjegolders Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks Diogo Though not sure I want to even contemplate leaving ST
diogo Posted March 25, 2014 Author Posted March 25, 2014 I contemplate it all the time. Seriously, I think PW is the only tool I don't contemplate leaving 1
onjegolders Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 PW, MAMP, ST and my Mac (and my girlfriend in case she's reading )
Joss Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 One day I will get round to inventing the proper text editor for the proper creative environment - it only works on the back of a fag packet. Trouble is, by the time I get round to it, no one will be smoking! (Probably ought to invent an OS called Fag Packet, really - or Cigarette, for our confused and blushing American cousins....) 1
maba Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Actually I use ST3 and won't leave it for now but, other 3 invites here..
totoff Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 i have a weird hobby: i try to know all key bindings in the world off by heart ... no, no. no reason to leave st2 for the next big thing. never change a running system! 1
diogo Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 never change a running system! That would go against my huge curiosity. I'm so hoping that something better than ST appears 1
Joss Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 That would go against my huge curiosity. I'm so hoping that something better than ST appears I wonder if your day-to-day computer is like mine - stuffed to the brim with software that I tried once, forgot what it was and never got round to uninstalling it. I sometimes through my lists and think "I wonder what that did?" I also have a downloads full of mystery zips - I definitely downloaded them for something at sometime, but cant remember what. This is not helped that I have managed to keep a lot of my archives going from the mid nineties - some of those bits and pieces are probably freebees from the front of mags that are for windows 3.11 ..... Pity my memory is not quite as good. 3
