What editor do you use ?
By Bryma, history, 3 years ago, In English

Hi ! First of all HNY 2021 ! Many noobs ( including me) doesn't have a "main" editor that they use for cp so i invite all the people from codeforces (noobs, LGM, etc) to say what's their main editor. :)

EDIT : If you're using vim please tell us , you use "gvim" or "vim".

Mostly I use Code::Blocks. There were days when I used CLion and Far Manager.

Sublime Text pretty much all the time on Windows (C++), though at IOI I used Geany on Ubuntu and I really liked it.

    Yes Atom with vim-mode-plus & relative-numbers package is just awesome!

I use Code:Blocks IDE because I think it's easy to use and enough useful for CP. (and i'm too lazy to switch to another)

I use the online CodeChef ide
Sorry for a stupid question but Can someone please list out the advantages of using an offline ide over an online one apart from being able to run huge test-cases(for cp ofc)?

    Offline IDEs are almost always better. You can configure them according to your preferences. Compilation of code is faster. Online IDEs may be unavailable at some times. And as you said, generating and running large test cases is a lot easier.

Notepad++, it's just my sweet very first editor, portable, has all I'd ever need, no autocomplete non-sense and very simple.

I know it's old school and pretty dated, but it gets the job done.

Dev C++. I know many people say it’s a shitty editor, but I got used to it and I’m too lazy to switch to another

    Don't use it. There was a time when I used to use it but at many moments it doesn't load or executes programs really slow so, it better to use some reliable offline editor.

I usually use Sublime Text plus my own scripts for compiling, running, testing and debugging code. I'm also getting used to Vim (the classic console one) and I have to admit it's a great replacement. BTW, I'd advise against using Code::Blocks, it doesn't work well in dark mode, doesn't have hotkeys like Ctrl+D in Sublime Text or [[ / ]] in Vim, and its debugger is often useless.

I use spacemacs, which combines vim and emacs and is super cool

sublime text — because of its monokai theme, its feature to add snippets etc.

Sublime with vim key-bindings or sometimes only vim.

In Windows I use Notepad++, however in my Linux machine I prefer to use Geany instead.

Have tried many other text editors like Sublime, VScode, Atom etc etc, but one thing or more make me hate them with every iota of my life :3

Anyway, text editors don't mean anything in the long-run, it's all dependent on your skills, so just pick whatever you feel comfortable with.

I like my editors to be minimal, lightweight and simple to use hence I gravitated towards the choices that I mentioned at the start.

I think if you use c++ as your coding language then the best editor are vs code and sublime text because they have lots of good functions but if u want a simple editor and easy to use editor than codeblocks is the best editor

Clion — Live templates and custom keyboard shortcuts are wonderful
