On: micro – A Modern Alternative to nano

[xp84]

I must be weird because I see a major divide in editors. CLI editors are for light text editing and don’t need plugins. Updating a line in a config file, etc. I’ve never even wished for a plug-in for them. IDEs need plugins. They’re for coding.

(I know some people use vim or emacs for coding, with 1000 amazing plugins, but I think deep down they’re masochists in the first place, especially vim.)

I tried to use vscode, but I hated the high CPU usage. My laptop literally gets warm when scrolling through code. And fan go brrrrr

I think people who reach for an IDE are deep down spoiled brats who need everything on a platter.
