For me, I've been looking into Lapce and lite-xl a lot recently. I really like the idea of extremely lightweight text editors that try to compete with Codium (libre binary of VScode).

What text/code editors do y'all use? I want to try them out.

    Helix, it's a nice alternative to Neovim because I don't want to spend hours configuring plugins. It has everything I need built in and works out of the box. It's also written in Rust 🦀

      I've used Helix a lot in the past before being indoctrinated into GNU Emacs. I really liked it's newer take on modal editing and as you said all the configuration is done for you.

      Also the fact that it compiles with a ton of cool themes haha.

        fidel-salute to anyone willing to learn Emacs, as the video says: "Emacs is not that hard, you can learn Emacs in one day, every day"
