Vim/Gvim.

I use Sublime. It has a nice package and is fast. I’ve been looking into using Vim sometimes, though.

For Elixir, I decided to try emacs (again, for perhaps the 5th time) as Alchemist looks so useful… however, despite evil mode, I cannot make the switch from vim (neovim) ;(
I also use VS Code as my visual editor for when I want that sort of thing.

What do you think of Neovim @mackenza - how does it differ from MacVim?
mackenza
I love neovim. I am a solid user of vim but don’t write plugins or anything like that so for my use, it’s 100% compatible with vim (so far) and is faster and just feels more “crisp”.
As for macvim… I am (shock) not a mac user. I am a linux guy. It is definitely a minority position in the world of open source devs, but I love Linux and have no interest in Apple products (yes, I use Android too… heh). So I can only compare to vim on Linux and neovim rocks!

Spacemacs

Long time VIM user. But just switched to Spacemacs. I love it. Especially for Elixir development with Alchemist.

6 character limit - Vim

I really do need to look into it - what are the main benefits of it? Is it more like an IDE?
I’ve heard emacs is totally different from Vim - that’s kinda scary!

There’s Vim-mode in Spacemacs!!
Most vim-mode packages in other editors suck. In spacemacs its very good.
Once you learn the spacemacs keybindings (which are very easy btw) you are good to go. I did a full switch over in less than a week.
