Emacs

If I really have to use an outdated editor, I'd go with vim. But really, these days, you should be using a more fully-featured IDE, like IntelliJ or even VS Code.

thanks, I sure love text editors that use 1gb of ram minimum.

buddy, it's 2018, what kind of toaster are you running where 1GB of RAM is a lot?

I use a computer with 128GB of RAM but Visual Studio still sometimes manages to take 30 seconds when loading cold files. It also freezes and crashes and throws exceptions all the fucking time. At this point I'd rather use some boomer editor. Edited on 01/10/2018 16:16.

VS became performant after I disabled the bloated GIT integration. Good IDE.

For what language? A lot of people praise it but I think they all are using C++ and not C#.
Holy shit the amount of bugs the thing has is unbearable.

I've never had those problems you're describing, and my computer only has 8GB of RAM and a relatively weak processor

C# obviously. Why would you use VS for C++?

I've used VS Code for C++ before. Keep in mind VS Code is not the same thing as VS.

VS code is a meme text editor by Microsoft written in Javashit. that alone should tell you how bad it is.

What version of Minesweeper is that? Windows 7?
Have you tried finding a version of Minesweeper online (say, in Flash or HTML5) and porting your AI to that version so that people can experiment with it outside of Windows? Alternatively, do any commenters feel like *writing* a Flash or HTML5 Minesweeper clone?

Agreed.

I've had these across jobs, programming languages and computers.

What would you use for programming C++ for Windows instead?

It's the present time and you don't get to choose your editor.
Bloat makes me not want to use it anyway.
The keybindings are also very bad.
But it was fun using it for a while.

Vim is just as bloated and additionally has idiotic defaults.
I really like vi but sadly there's no windows port.

Windows

There's your problem. I use macOS. VS Code is very stable. Never used the Windows version.

Vim is just as bloated and additionally has idiotic defaults.

vim is one of those tools where it sucks by default but if you criticize it then vimtards will say how all you have to do is make a million customizations to it and THEN it's a good editor, but like, it should be good by default, no need for elaborate .vimrc shit.

No notepad-based editor has a medical condition such as "emacs pinky" due more diverse mouse-based interaction and varied hotkeys.

horrible advice. Remapping to Caps Lock will literally give you RSI because instead of 2 choices for Ctrl, you're now forced to use one finger, your weakest one, over and over.

You're supposed to use the palm of your hand for Ctrl. Also make sure you're using both hands as much as possible; e.g., use right Ctrl and left hand on x for C-x.

I also use rubber bands to exercise the flexors in my wrist to make sure I don't get RSI.

We're talking about Visual Studio.
VS Code is all the bad things about an IDE without the good parts.

Isn't VsCode one of the desktop programs written in JavaScript? I am still traumatised by Atom.

surely the best way to avoid emacs pinky is just configuring emacs to use a set of less-bad keybinds, e.g. vim's
the defaults are very dumb and not at all ergonomic
