Thank you. I had not read that before. The novice’s first steps are just wonderful.

Ed is the standard text editor.

This is correct.

Kakoune is probably the only editor that respects the UNIX philosophy, and I love it. But I also don’t like how there’s no linter and formatter for the same - maybe a daemon-based approach is probably better?

If you like Unixy editors, highly recommend also looking into acme

Russ Cox describes it in this video as more like an “integrating development environment” as in it works with your surrounding operating system rather than an “integrated development environment”

Doesn’t shine as much on Unix as in Plan 9 though. Also no linter or formatter built into or distributed with acme but you probably could get your language’s usual tools to work pretty well with it

emacs is not that hard. You can learn emacs in one day—every day.

I really f’ing love Emacs, and… this is true. I’m still constantly learning, 3 decades in.

But that’s part of its appeal - it’s a constantly evolving, you tweak and modify it for your needs, and you grow and change together.

I’m very partial to doom emacs. I love the emacs ecosystem but the default editor made me want to cry, doom emacs gives the awesome text editing of vim with the awesome ecosystem of emacs (significantly smoother than viper too)

it always entertains me when a vim aficionado regurgitates the “just missing a good editor” joke, given that one of the editors Emacs offers is a pretty comprehensive clone of vim.

(personally, I never had any problem with the default editor when I migrated to it from vi, though I was using a keyboard that already had ctrl next to a.)
