Yawn. Here's a better list in 5 minutes. Vim + pathogen + NERDTree + CtrlP + CTa...

Thanks for sharing! this is an incredibly useful list for me. I'd already using some of the tools of the list, so very keen to try the others.

Good job, Reddit-moonlighters, downvote the one comment full of useful information in this thread because you're butt-hurt over the tone of 8 words.

To add to my argument for when you downvote this, Fish is nicer to use and easier to setup than Zsh.

Seriously, someone blogs about three well known "tools", which has been done to death by now - one of which is about fucking fonts (seriously?) and that's considered a useful contribution?

I mean, with gems like these, how can you possibly go wrong?

>So the prompt here is a current directory surrounded with square braces.

Wow, thank you for explaining that. To contribute back, did you know that the sky looks blue in the day time?

>No one loves a slow terminal. No one.

Aha! But I love me a slow terminal!

>What makes a good programming font? > > mono-spaced > readable > you can tell the difference between O and 0.

Someone give this man a publishing contract, this is blowing my mind!

The level of brain damage here is mind bending. Even more so given that so many of you are sufficiently brain damaged that you are professional developers who can't dig up the 500 articles which have already covered this.

To add insult to injury, the highest rated comment is praising XCode. Because it's pretty. Jesus H Christ. From my experience with using Mac OS X, which I have no comprehension of how anyone can stand from up close - I mean come on, you JUST got the ability to full screen an app? You can't change the window manager to something usable? Want to customize something? Fuck you, customize that! Oh wait, you can't! - it's clear that Apple products are shiny on the outside and polished turds on the inside. The only good thing about OS X is what Apple didn't write - that is to say, the Mach 3 microkernel and BSD userland apps. Apple wrote iTunes in whole and it's an insult software applications.

So really? We have a group of developers for who having pretty buttons is more important than, you know, solving the fucking problem? I sincerely hope that I never have to work with anyone who fits into that category. You'll probably spend half the day plucking your eyebrows while the rest of us get shit done. Oh wait, I have, and they were just as idiotic as some of the people here. They were idiotic because style won over substance. If you care about style, go paint, design UI's or make music and get out of my industry.

Frankly, I'm sick of you hipster "developers". Bring back the four inch thick specs, uncombed hair and social anxiety ridden social rejects as I'd rather deal with them than this crap any day of the week. Someone here even hinted that them using Mac OS X when it was version 10.2 was a badge of honor. Yes, mentioning that you were there "at the start" then saying that you don't care about badges is implying that you see it as a badge. Moronic. Using Linux when it was in it's 0.x evolutions is a badge of honor. Writing kernel drivers is a badge of honor. Working on exotic systems like Solaris or QNX is a badge of honor. Get some perspective and show some respect for the roots of this culture.
