    Right, input latency is what matters for me. I'm not seeing whether they've measured that in the docs/on Github.

    Yes, it constantly bugs you about buying OneDrive.

    To be honest I've never had issues like you're describing and I've been using Linux nearly exclusively as a desktop OS since the 2010s. The main deficiency is that it doesn't have …

    Yes I'm waiting for a nixos package. I have used it a bit through the Docker image and it's super cool. I can see it succeeding emacs. Seems like it's even more hackable than the l…

    Yeah, that was mostly my thinking. I like lisp!

    I mentioned speed because they're writing their own instead of using Chez or Gambit or something (which have taken a while to get into 'performant' territory). Writing and maintain…

    I wouldn't really count that as editor config. Every editor with treesitter support will have configs for treesitter, for instance: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitt…

    I think a big missing piece with writing what you want in Rust and recompiling the editor to activate your changes is that you're not able to work with it _live_. That is, I can us…

    Yeah, I was on the nightly release (via nix) for a while. Rock solid.

    Echoing the other replies here that idk what breakages this refers to. I switched since I liked lua better than vimscript (after writing a ton of vimscript). I don't use many plugi…

    Agreed. I've been using (n)vim for roughly 8 years now and only touch my config to put in bits of Lua I've hacked together to make my life slightly easier (~10 minutes every few mo…

    And, oddly, they chose to do their own Scheme implementation for it. Not that I'm against Scheme in particular, but a lot of other people justifiably seem to be. It doesn't have th…

    I think you only miss (or at least I noticed this happened to me) a plugin system when you've engaged with the programmable side of your editor and then have to use one that isn't.…

    This does not seem like a standard way to conduct business to me by any stretch of the imagination, though I don't work in cybersecurity. Perhaps that community just has lower stan…

    I don't know, but it's been more reliable for me than /bin/bash. I think env is part of POSIX.

    Comment #40687029

    #!/bin/bash won't work on, say, nixos, and as you noted, many non-linux platforms. It's a few more characters to do something (more) portable! You're right that docker (or somethin…

    Prefer `#!/usr/bin/env bash` instead, since /bin/bash isn't a standardized location for bash (even across Linux distros). The former causes $PATH to be searched for bash.

    A couple thoughts to add to the conversation: I think I prefer visual mode when I'm doing a _really_ complicated edit and need to rely on visual feedback. I think having visual fee…

    Blocking Chromium altogether isn't as big of a deal as it seems, either (unless you're a truly huge website). It's so easy to switch to Firefox these days. Probably takes a few min…
