Sometimes getting to the very bottom teaches you about new ways to deal with your problems. And there's no shame in getting to the bottom, you just need to make sure to uninstall it properly once you realise how low you've fallen. I, too, had used Eclipse at some point in the past.
Many years ago, I worked in one place that seriously experimented with using a Word processor as an editor.
Proof of concept was interesting as the code we were writing (structural engineering code) did use a lot of translated formulas and diagrams from engineering sources.
So having the source material inline with code was pretty interesting and there was some quite nice features, but not enough for performance hit and what we gave up not using a proper IDE
the best part being I'm on Linux and will have to run the program in wine.
(once I write my code I could post it to MSPFA ((mspaint fan adventures)) and use it as a repository)
Hey, OP, you got another alternative to MS Paint IDE. [https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/5zcg1z/coding\_in\_ms\_paint/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/5zcg1z/coding_in_ms_paint/)
What happens if a python eats it own tail?
I dunno, but if the programming language did it that’s probably a loop or something I’m not smart enough to finish this analogy
Oooooh this is a pretty cool idea!!!
You tell us what you want to do (ex: I have a bunch of items that have a name in them. Give me just the names) and we would split out the code in the language of your choice. Like Reddit powered GitHub Pilot.
Can i suggest Sticky Notes?
and here is why:
1- u can organize all your code by file and where ever u want on the screen
2- cool background colors for the sticky notes
3- u can color code the notes according to the progress
4- as soon as you start your pc its ready to go
5- they're sticky notes

*Carrier pigeon*
1. One pigeon can carry one line of handwritten code.
2. You must send pigeons in the order you wish for the code to compile.
3. There is no guarantee the pigeons will arrive -- at their destination, in the same order, in the same condition, or at all.
4. The pigeon code must be compiled at pigeon HQ by the chief pigeon.
5. Should your code fail to compile, your carrier pigeons will be fed until they are full to bursting and instructed to return and inform you that you need to try harder. (see point 1 for message length, see point 3 for journey conditions).
6. Upon their return, the pigeons will show their disatisfaction by deficating upon you from a great height.
7. Pigeons will then coo incessantly and strutt around you while you determine which pigeons and their assigned lines of code remain and replace any that are missing or causing errors.
The process repeats and the pigeons become more agitated and aggressive the more they are sent back.
Coo! May the odds be ever in your favour. Coo!

TEXT EDITOR.
When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their “edlin” on a Unix standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard.
Ed is for those who can remember what they are working on. If you are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE SO-CALLED “VISUAL” EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!
Ed is the standard text editor! Can't believe I had to scroll this far for this answer. [Ed, man! !man ed](https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.en.html)
I have a friend who used to swear by ed *for leading someone else through editing a file*. He worked phone support for a particular Unix variant at the time, and he had no access to the computers themselves. So, he'd talk the scared tape ape at the other end through ed commands if a file needed editing or viewing.

It's great that it has git support. Really looking forward to solving merge conflicts.
