![]() ![]() Why the fuck did they have to ruin gedit's UI? At least the KDE crew hasn't gone completely fucking stupid like the GNOME dipshits apparently have. And now gedit is useless to me! So I've moved on to Kate. It's like they took the idiotic UI design of Chrome and brought it over to gedit. Whoever the hell reworked the UI managed to break what was once a very usable text editor. The icons are pathetic, and don't indicate what the button actually does. There are no menus any longer, and the toolbar has been castrated into having like 4 buttons. But now, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, it looks stupid as all hell. ![]() There were useful menus and a toolbar, and it all worked very well. And my first reaction was: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, WHAT IN THE FUCKING HELL DID THEY DO TO GEDIT'S UI?! One of the first things I did after getting Linux installed was try to edit some files using gedit. I then used OS X for a few years, but I recently moved back to Linux. I used to use gedit on Linux a lot a few years ago. That is the capability no other editor offers. They are fairly simple and can be learned in 1-2 weeks, which is a small price to pay for the ability to control 100% of your text editor. And it also provides great automation facilities with macros, mappings or scripts. The thing about VIM is that it integrates nicely with the system, instead of reinventing it. And lack of good in-depth tutorials is actually what turned me off from the Emacs.) (This is different for Emacs, though: it is an IDE and then some more. No, it is not "VIM is bad IDE" - it is "VIM is not IDE". And when there is a button for everything - they suck at finding this right button.īut I'm not planning to contest the point that VIM is not IDE. Eclipse or NetBeans or Visual Studio - all suck horribly at everything for what there is no button premade. The problem for the professionals is not what the IDE can do out of box, but what can it be made to do. For programming Eclipse or NetBeans or Visual Studio is just miles away what of vi/emacs can do, especially out of the box. ![]()
