Notepad and Notepad++ have never disappointed me.

Must have installed bad plugins. I’ve literally never had vs code crash.
- Only thing Notepad++ does better for me is being able to open, like 1M+ line files.
  Outside of that, I hate to admit because MS, but VS Code is solid-ish.
  
  Yeah if I need to open up massive files (well not even that large, vscode really isn’t good for even slightly large files), I use Sublime text.
  
  I've opened 2GB files in vim before without an issue. Takes a bit to load everything in memory, but after that it works flawlessly.
- Yeah I can't remember vs code crashing, at least not more than once every few months
Are you guys seriously writing code on windows? I thought you were joking!?
- My company forces us. And we write code that runs on Linux machines. 💀
  
  I've been in your situation, too, and decided to annoy the fuck out of them about it until the gave me a Linux machine. Or at least a Mac.
  Seems idiotic to essentially get Windows just to use SSH.
I give it.. an hour before someone mentions vi or cat as the true old way
- ed. ed is the standard editor.

  In case anyone wants to compile from source
- Brother, come join us in the church of Emacs
  
  Hersey, the church of vim is superior
  
  I feel like helix is the LDS church of the editor world.
Counterpoint, vim :3
- I need to reconfigure vim and learn how to get the plugins up properly. I use lunarvim but inconsistently.
I use Notepad++ as my main editor anyways. It seems less distracting to me than VSCode.
The Powershell ISE, it burns us!
I do all my coding in the cloud, via Google docs 😎
Using a UI? We can go lower
Emacs crashes sometimes when I write rust so I use vs code for now. How do I see the crash report? I researched a little but couldn't find.
Same, but with nano.
Still grokking tabbed notepad here....
