Looks like what he really needs/wants is an IDE.

What I most time miss in an IDE is tight terminal integration, I find myself often redirecting buffer contents between panes, terminal pipelines and composing microprograms on the fly to enhance my workflow.

I use vim 7.4 and it segfaults atleast four-five times everyday. I suspect it's some plugin that is causing it to crash but I don't really know. Does it happen to anyone else too? I have mapped Ctrl-C to ESC and I use it often. One specific instance I have seen vim crash is when the cursor is at np.inf and I press Ctrl-C.

Vim has never crashed for me. And I've been using it almost exclusively for almost ten years. I don't use any plugins though. I haven't found a single usable plugin. They are terrible hacks. I figure vim must have an API that's difficult to integrate (it's too general a text editor. Look at the amount of built-in settings that hardly play nice with each other).

I agree. Vim is solid as a rock. I've been using it for about 10 years and I saw it crash 2 times. On the other hand, I had to use Atom for 2 weeks and it crashed on me exactly 6 times.

i used to use tmux but when i migrated to neovim i started using its built in terminal for multiplexing instead.

Interesting, I suppose neovim much like emacs is turning more and more into an entire OS/environment for some users nowadays using it as a windowmanager like that.

Disappointed in Bugsnag for covering such trodden trails for a HN front page grab. Content marketing should have something to do with your business. There are hundreds of blog posts describing this exact setup.

What's your indication that this was submitted by bugsnag rather than by an HN member? If you think this or any other submission is inappropriate for HN, please flag it and move on.

All this looks really great, however I think I just can't deal with the effort of maintaining these complex editor configurations anymore. I've been a multi-decade Vim user, until I switched to VSCode last year. It made me realize how much better the user experience can be for an editor. I had all kinds of complex vim configurations and plugins with special cases for linux vs. mac, server vs. desktop, GUI vs. termina…

Same boat. I use Atom with vim keybindings now and I feel much more productive than when I rolled with straight vim + tmux. Great tools, but there are much better options these days.

Why does Atom feel more productive?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How do you store them? Just backup into a dotfiles repo or what? I've been looking into dotfiles + gnu stow.

I use a Github repo + gnu stow. I wrote a little post about it ( http://juanda.me/managing-your-dotfiles-with-gnu-stow ). Notice that I've made my dotfiles repo private since then so you can't check it out, but the post still draws the general idea.

+1 for this method! Good post. I originally learned about this through: http://brandon.invergo.net/news/2012-05-26-using-gnu-stow-to...

I'm disappointed that they wrote it, and whether or not they submitted it to HN it's still a blatant traffic grab. It has zero to do with error reporting.

Not once does the article mention Bugsnag or try to market their product. Who is to stop an enthusiastic engineer from sharing a workflow they find useful. The article has great content and powerful visuals to help convey their point. I'm happy to see companies not try to influence authors to plug their product in their blog posts.
