I decided to work with #atom lately, and I made a fresh install on a VM to test some packages outside my real dev machine.
Just occurred to me that "by #GitHub" now means by #microsoft... So MS now really controls the IDE market from any possible angle.

    Does it really matter who makes it if you like using it?

    I can see Hashtags, that don't work in devRant.

    But yeah, Microsoft does have a finger up everything in some way, it has now come to seem.

    @shaji In my case: yes. Something called ethics/morality exists.

    @linuxxx that is some narrowminded thinking right there. As long as things are open source, everything is fine. And Microsoft got so much better than 10 years ago

    @muma Why would it be narrow minded thinking not to want to use anything which is owned or developed or backed by a company which is integrated within very nasty stuff?

    That seems more like common sense to me.

    @rstular also since when do they own cat and echo?

    Since when do they own vi and tmux? Since when do they own brackets.io? Since when do they own notepad++?
    Jetbrains, netbeans, eclipse (not that you want that but still)

    @linuxxx Microsoft is not Windows only you know. The dev Stuff is actually pretty good. And again: as long as Stuff is open source i don't care who is behind it as long as its good.

    @muma I did not mean windows, why did you assume that?

    @linuxxx what else then?

    @gitreflog more like tmux and vi as a faux ide. Have your server instance in one session, your text editing in another , and your server instance listening writes. And you can then write, watch the logs as your server restarts, and swap back and write again.

    @muma The fact that they're integrated within the biggest mass surveillance network ever created maybe?
