Vim is charity ware actually or at least that's how it was qualified when I started using it. Most of the long time vim users I know have donated several times. Vim and Emacs also have shit loads of plugins, which can make them behave just like Atom or VSCode so as usual I think it's just a matter of preference.

there we Go again.

why spend time writing about something you don't like? Is it a therapy for programmers with strong opinions?

Each time I install an app that says

Offers in-app purchases

I end up uninstalling it quickly (after 1 try), those ads in apps are really annoying for the user.

It's not the developers fault, but the ad system on either Android or iOS are really annoying, even if the app has all the features, for me the ads kill it.

Atom 1.0 11 years ago

On this MacBook Pro (MacBookPro12,1) i7(3,1GHz) 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD ... it takes less that 5 seconds which is way to long for me. If that's ok for you no worries, but you can't say it isn't slow.

Atom's vim mode is a joke. No ex mode, you need another plugin for that ... which is kind of clunky.

Atom 1.0 11 years ago

None.

Atom's installer is a huge download, and the editor is much slower ... It also consumes much more memory and written in coffeescript. Takes a long time to start up ... just a few things on the top of my head.

It's a great initiative though so that's already a good point.

Hi

That's rough and I'm sorry you have to face it.

1 - Try to think positive, I know it sounds hard but it actually helps a lot.

2 - Keep working as much as you can, it will help you not to think about the negative stuff

3 - If your employer doesn't understand the problem then the job's not worth it.

I tried to apply for the beta but it requires a FB account, which I obviously don't have since I want to stay anonymous ...

Dart 1.5 12 years ago

I usually browse the docs when starting with a new topic; the dartlang website has tons of stuff (and the articles are usually kept up to date), it's quite easy to get started.

Well, that's great. Could you send some of your colleagues over here (Spain)? Cause I definetly think they didn't follow the same training sessions as you did.

To answer you first question: Anyone fits in "the audience for Dart", If you're ready to use CoffeeScript, why wouldn't you give Dart a try?

"It adds optional static typing, and as far as I can tell, nothing else."

And as far as I can tell you don't have a clue of what you're talking about.

Even though, Im not a fan of your "spam" approach (and the fact that you're still a kid taking people for total idiots) I must admit the idea and especially what it lead to is a success, at least for you.

My opinion, is that ads suck, most of them do (except the ones that make you laugh and remain classics which in that case fall into another category, and as far as I'm concerned that only happened with TV commercials and a very few "internet" ones) ... and being spammed even though it's becoming a habbit with all the interwebs bullshit we've been and have to digest everyday is more than annoying.

You seem to be smart and you should definetly put your talent in something else.
