People know me as a very very heavy vim user. I have spent almost the last two years customizing <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/Xe/dotfiles/blob/master/.vimrc" data-href="https://github.com/Xe/dotfiles/blob/master/.vimrc" class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" rel="nofollow">my .vimrc file</a> and I have parts of it mapped to the ways I think. Recently I have acquired both a Mac Pro and a Surface Pro 3, and my vim configuration didn’t work on them. For a while I had used Docker and the image I made of my preferred dev environment to shim and hack around this.</p><figure name="8adf" id="8adf" class="graf--figure postField--outsetLeftImage"><div class="aspectRatioPlaceholder is-locked" style="max-width: 525px; max-height: 350px;"><div class="aspect-ratio-fill" style="padding-bottom: 66.7%;"></div><img class="graf-image" data-image-id="1*_nD4Ydgx9cOdBfYVXXsnsw.png" data-width="1059" data-height="706" data-action="zoom" data-action-value="1*_nD4Ydgx9cOdBfYVXXsnsw.png" src="https://d262ilb51hltx0.cloudfront.net/max/600/1*_nD4Ydgx9cOdBfYVXXsnsw.png"></div></figure><p name="ab08" id="ab08" class="graf--p">Then I took a fresh look at <a target="_blank" href="https://atom.io/" data-href="https://atom.io/" class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" rel="nofollow">Atom</a>, Github’s text editor that claims to be a replacment for Sublime. Since then I have moved to using Atom as my main text editor for programming in OSX and Windows, but still using my fine-tuned vim setup in Linux. I like how I have Atom set up. It uses a lot of (but not all sadly) the features I have come to love in my vim setup.</p><p name="4c77" id="4c77" class="graf--p">I also like that I can have the same setup on both my Mac and in Windows. I have the same <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/atom/vim-mode" data-href="https://github.com/atom/vim-mode" class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" rel="nofollow">vim-mode</a> bindings on both my machines (I only customize so far as to add :w and :q bindings), and easily jump from one to the other with Synergy and have little to no issues with editor differences. I typically end up taking my surface out with me to a lot of places and will code some new ideas on the bus or in the food court of the mall.</p><figure name="d9b5" id="d9b5" class="graf--figure postField--insetLeftImage"><div class="aspectRatioPlaceholder is-locked" style="max-width: 267px; max-height: 252px;"><div class="aspect-ratio-fill" style="padding-bottom: 94.39999999999999%;"></div><img class="graf-image" data-image-id="1*p2L7kPMSXOTNqM24wZM_Xg.png" data-width="267" data-height="252" src="https://d262ilb51hltx0.cloudfront.net/max/600/1*p2L7kPMSXOTNqM24wZM_Xg.png"></div></figure><p name="2033" id="2033" class="graf--p">Atom gets a lot of things right with the plugins I have. I have Autocomplete+ and a plugin for it that uses GoCode for autocompletion as I type like I have with vim-go and YouCompleteMe in Vim. Its native pacakge support and extensibility is bar none the easiest way to be able to add things to the editor I have ever seen.</p><p name="7ee0" id="7ee0" class="graf--p">But there are problems with Atom that are mostly based on my usage of text editors and my understanding of programming with Javascript, Coffeescript, HTML and CSS. Atom is a mostly Coffeescript editor, it does mean that at runtime I can customize almost any aspect of the editor, but I would have to learn one if not 5 more languages to be able to describe the layouts or interfaces I would like to add to this editor. It also being a hybrid between a web application and a normal desktop application means that I am afraid to add things I normally would such as raw socket suppo
