Editor + Terminal
- At Facebook, I use VSCode as the primary editor as that has a lot of integrations with the infra and it just works out-of-the-box. I use it with the VSCodeVIM plugin as I can’t live without vim keybindings!
- Personally, I use Spacemacs as my primary editor. I really like the unique
mnemonic approach of vim keybindings applied to emacs which is the more
powerful development environment (It just needs a good editor.. I’m kidding).
- My config can be found here.
- If you’ve never used it, I recommend trying out Magit. Its amazing.
- Same for org-mode.
- For lightweight editing purposes I still prefer vim and my minimal config for a good vim experience can be found here.
- I use st with custom applied patches as my terminal on my arch linux pc. For my macbook, I prefer iterm2.
- I use Source Code Pro Semibold as my font of choice for all of my editors & terminals.
- For my shell, I use zsh with prezto.
