What do you look for in a Code Editor?
I find myself often searching for better editor experiences when writing code.
Things I've tried:
Visual Studio code
: too slow, resource hog.Atom
: same as above.Intellij
: very slow to open.NeoVim/Vim
: steep learning curve and requires a good memory (human, not computer!).Lite (and Lite-xl)
: lacking fully-featured language support currently.Sublime Text
: Has probably come the closest to my reliable editor, but actually getting it setup to be an editor can be fiddly, because it's primarily supposed to be a text editor.
Things I need:
- Speed - my biggest frustration
- cross-platform
- LSP integrations (specifically gopls and pylsp)
- debug support (delve, pdb)
- Large extension library / list of plugins
Things I want:
- Nice Testing & coverage visualisations
- Kubernetes & docker support
- hackability / customisation
This got me thinking, with modern LSPs (Language Server Protocols) and rich web-based ecosystems - what do you look for in an editor?
