> I know several world class programmers, and interestingly, the commonality among them is that they all seem to use Vim as their code editor. Many people I know who think of themselves as world class programmers use Emacs. haha, shots fired!
And then you have Linus Torvalds who uses nano
I don’t get the point of talking about how much you love something by shitting on what other people use. Ha ha emacs users are idiots. Maybe I’m being overly sensitive but whats the point of saying this? Can’t you just talk about whats great about your thing and not take pot shots at other tech.
I have no idea if this author is representative of the Pulsar community, but I sure hope not.

Eh, not really. Last I tried these, the mouse was able to move the cursor, and that was about it.
Neovim in the terminal has a basic right click menu (select, copy, paste), scrolling, and buffer select. That's just what I've come across.
Personally I don't see how it does a significant number of things better than VS Code, which has much more market share already. Not being controlled by Microsoft is a plus for sure (everyone using VSCode should be aware that the official builds are actually proprietary).

IIRC, the 'clipboard' for the terminal was separate from the rest of your desktop. You couldn't copy from your web browser to your neovim the same way you would with a GUI text editor.

the author doesn't know much about Emacs (and i assume vim) but that last point about emacs is very unnecessary and clickbaity...
oh well, i don't mind pulsar being good and it probably a better fit for some people but pulsar doesn't deserves this guy

I've known many world-class programmers who use Emacs, among them Kalman Reti and Steve Summit. Most of the diehard Vim users I encountered were kind of in the DUVASWUV camp (DHH Uses Vim And So We Use Vim), i.e., they came to it as part of the whole Rails memeplex. That said, vi(m) and Emacs used to share the throne as the canonical Unix wizard editors because they were nearly ubiquitously available, consistent in U…
Vim? I remember DHH was the premier TextMate evangelist. All his videos were TextMate only.
> While both of these [Emacs and vim] can probably compete with Pulsar in number of extensions available and the amount of customizations and keyboard shortcuts, neither of them have a graphical user interface, and they are completely incapable of doing things like showing images or, for example, a Markdown preview (which by the way you can open in Pulsar by pressing Ctrl+Shift+M). Claiming that Emacs has limited cus…
