It was school work. All I needed was some proper visual indentations and a monospaced font.

Right, so Notepad.

The indentations in Word won't be "proper;" they're based on physical dimensions, not characters.

Like I said, all I needed was visual indentation. C# doesn't have significant whitespaces. As long as you account for all of the braces and semicolons, you could write an entire program in a single line.

I was there, Gandalf, 3000 years ago, writing my first html code in notepad. And I was happy about that.

I wrote some code with ed once. It had a nice, calm insanity to it.

I honestly don't understand how notepad is a worse alternative to word.

Word is great for formatting documents but not code.

Why would anyone bother learning both Vim and LibreOffice when LibreOffice supports every file format Vim does, and more?

I have a friend who keeps bragging about vim and all but tbh it's not a big deal to keep this hype going. I use featherpad btw.

I switched from vim to emacs a couple weeks ago specifically for org mode and it has legit changed the way I work.

I switched from vim to emacs years ago. Then years later I switched back. Emacs is cool and all but it really killed my pinkie finger!

What have you found most useful from switching? I switched to emacs a while ago and still feel like a beginner (largely because I got too greedy with all the goodies at the beginning and ended up with loads of features I hadn't learned to use yet and a messy init.el. I restarted and am adding features as I need them, to prevent that same complexity sprawl)

I needed a better organization tool to keep track of tasks and todos, and I read about org mode on lemmy. I ended up following this tutorial and then building my own templates once I understood everything. It's fantastic now that I have it a little customized, makes it so quick and easy to keep notes.

Meanwhile me looking up how to use vim everytime I use it
