2015 ACM-ICPC World Finals Programming Environment

Which editor/IDE does tourist (Gennady Korotkevich) use for programming competitions?

Given all the options listed above (vim, emacs, geany, eclipse), I would say geany is a closer alternative to Far Manager(The editor he uses). I would say this is the only reason.

Editors do NOT give you an edge not all. All popular IDEs/editors work wonders if configured properly (vim and emacs arguably take a bit more time to do so). In programming contests, it's all about what you have learned, can you put the pieces together, can you collaborate with your teammates ... etc.. When it comes to editors, it's all personal preference really, what you find the most comfort coding on.

PS. I have tried all of the listed editors.

      You can either:

      1_ Add this line right after main()

      freopen("A.in", "r", stdin);

      You can also use it with preprocessor macros.

      　

      2_ Open up the terminal

      YourExecutable.exe < A.in
