Is there any good FOSS text editors that compare to Sublime text or VSCode? As in, no steep learning curve like with vim/emacs

itt: op is a faglord that just wants to shill atom or other such bullshit and is baiting ad replies
Josiah King
No, I was genuinely wondering if there is any good text editors similiar to that. I heard atom is bloated af
Jackson Russell
if you know what atom is, you know all the other meme editors and that you will forever search in vain

Well guess what, everything other than vi/vim is terribly bloated in comparison, that's exactly why people tell you to use vim.
you're looking for the magical editor that is not bloated but also full of features to appeal to lazy people like you. It doesn't exist. So just put in some effort and learn vim already.
James Allen
It takes like 30 minutes to get going with Vim. Just do vimtutor, as soon as you learn basic navigation you'll be on your way
Jackson Perry
also vscode is open source, whatever editor you end up using installing a vim plugin on it is a good idea

Sublime may be bloated but it's still fast so it doesn't matter
Isaiah Barnes
VS Code is FOSS isn't it

Nothing beats Visual Studio. The Tesla of code editors.

if you install so much plugins in vim that it gets IDE capabilities then it will become bloated too. But it's kind of different type of bloat.
For example java programs can use as much memory as you will feed into it. Java programs performs better with more memory. If you launch language server like that it will feel kind of bloated, but you can of course luanch it with lower setting.
It's kind of sad. If you want all bells and whistles it won't be lightweight. You need to either forfeit these features or accept this fact.

ESC to go to command mode
:q to quit, :wq to write and quit, :q! to force quit, ?searchterm to search
I to enter edit mode

OP doesn't like learning.

I love this tiny text editor OP github.com
Carson Brooks
Honestly try Joe or Nano. Both are straightforward, lightweight and somewhat reliable.

Use Ed. Because when I log into my Xenix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi
*and* Emacs are just too damn slow. They print useless messages like,
'C-h for help' and '"foo" File is read only'. So I use the editor
that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time.
Ed, man! !man ed
ED(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual ED(1)
NAME
ed - text editor
SYNOPSIS
ed [ - ] [ -x ] [ name ]
DESCRIPTION
Ed is the standard text editor.
---
Computer Scientists love ed, not just because it comes first
alphabetically, but because it's the standard. Everyone else loves ed
because it's ED!
"Ed is the standard text editor."
And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair. Just look:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 24 Oct 29 1929 /bin/ed
-rwxr-xr-t 4 root 1310720 Jan 1 1970 /usr/ucb/vi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5.89824e37 Oct 22 1990 /usr/bin/emacs
Of course, on the system *I* administrate, vi is symlinked to ed.
Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog
message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K;
and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!
"Ed is the standard text editor."
Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:
golem> ed
?
help
?
?
?
quit
?
exit
?
bye
?
hello?
?
eat flaming death
?
^C
?
^C

^D

Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is
generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm
the novice with verbosity.
"Ed is the standard text editor."
Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.
ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED
AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS
BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN
SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!
When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless
help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!!
Not a "viitor". Not a "emacsitor". Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED!
ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!
Kevin Long
So what, it only runs for a couple of hours, then you have to exit for eight before you can use it again?
Ethan Taylor
ed is actually unironically semi useful sometimes since it edits the actual file and doesn't make a temp and mv over the original like, vim, ex, sed -i, etc.
Liam Ross
the only decent posts in this entire thread
Brandon Cooper
Is vim worth learning if I'm only doing webdev?
Landon Reyes
Yes, the added comfort and speed is incredible. As I said, it doesn't take long to get to a point where it's so much better for editing than normal. Vim is easy to learn but hard to master
James Jones
not very well known, ut I use Howl.
Luis Evans
Search for CudaText. Its the foss copycat of SublimeText
Kayden Miller
geany or gedit but they both suck
you should consider learning vim though, it's great and it takes like an afternoon
Nathaniel King
geany
how does geany suck? it's basically notepad++
