i remember the notepad++ guy posted this whole thing about how he's saving the planet because np++ code was cleanly written and thus more energy efficient. in reaction, i set my work laptop up so that whenever np++ was open it was also running folding@home full throttle

developers who do not use a real IDE are an embarrassment to themselves and our profession

Wasn't there a YOSPOS goon who used to go sicko mode if you said anything bad about vim? Am I just imagining this? I swear I remember someone melting down about this in one of the earlier versions of the linux thread.

Vim is fine. Most of the people I work with seem to use it just fine without becoming terminal nerds that have an 8000 line config file that they have to share across computers.
