Textmate hidden files code#
Then I found Notepad++ and it seemed amazing to me at the time - basic stuff like syntax highlighting and code folding and line numbers made me say "wow, this is cool".

Kakoune takes make of the good ideas of Vim and simplifies them and make them more powerful. Editor which are based on some simple powerful principles. I tend to prefer simplicity and ease of use. If I have to use a text mode editor then I prefer Kakoune for many of the same reasons. Especially related to configuring bundles. TextMate makes it a lot easier to discover functionality. Everything seems to be text configuration files. Like you have a menu entry for each language. It is not just that Bundles are easy to make and edit, but I love how their functionality is so well sectioned off and easy to discover.
