While RubyMine comes with the built-in support for many programming and scripting languages. Projects can contain file types unknown to RubyMine. Of course I didn’t use it to write code, but writing blog posts was part of my work for a long time, and I wrote plenty of them with this application.The following is only valid when the TextMate Bundles Support plugin is installed and enabled. Update, : I can’t believe I left MarsEdit out of this article. I like Emacs a lot, both in GUI and TUI mode, and in particular I appreciate its integration with Git using Magit and its Asciidoc mode. I had never used Emacs before 2018, and I wrote a book as I learnt to use it, mostly comparing it with vim. It has great support for pretty much anything that I do, and it is cross-platform, which means that as I moved to Linux, it came with me. I’ve written an article about the myriad of extensions that I use with it. I loved it, and these days I use it for anything that does not happen on a command line. I started using Visual Studio Code in 2018, as fate took me to work in a few projects based on TypeScript. Almost 20 years after, I think learning vim was one of the best investments of time. vimrc, then started using the Janus distribution, and finally settled for just a few selected plugins installed with Pathogen. I started piling up customizations in my. And that’s how I started using vim every day. vim (2002–now)Īs I said, one of the reasons I bought my iBook G3 in 2002 was to learn the Unix command line. It had pretty good integration with MacOS, and it used the same shortcuts and plugins as the standard vim, so it was perfect in every way. I used MacVim for a few years on the Mac, as my default GUI text editor. The success of Ruby on Rails propulsed TextMate to the top however, the lack of progress towards TextMate 2.0 made me look elsewhere. We can still watch this demo in what is now one of the oldest videos in YouTube. TextMate was the editor that David Heinemeier Hansson used to demo Ruby on Rails. The first one that actually worked for me was Smultron, a rather obscure text editor from Sweden, by far not the most popular in the platform, but extremely good at what it did. I bought an iBook G3 in December 2002 to learn Unix and Objective-C but for a couple of months I struggled to find a text editor as good as EditPlus. I’m glad it is still around after all these years, though. As I stopped working on Windows, I stopped using it. ![]() I used it to write all of my HTML, CSS, Active Server Pages, VBScript code, and more with it. Small, incredibly fast, with plenty of syntax files contributed by users. I loved EditPlus since the first day I opened it, and it was my personal companion at writing code for years. If you like this, I’ve written more about the subject in one of my books ( EPUB and HTML version). This is only about small, fast, flexible tools that have helped me write prose and code throughout the years. I’m not mentioning the various IDEs that I had to use in the same points in time, because they are really specific to a particular technology: Visual Studio for C#, Xcode for Objective-C and Swift, etc. This article is a summary of that history, so far. There has been a particular text editor that defined each period of my career as a software developer.
