![]() ![]() If they screw up Ubuntu and force Unity on everyone I might switch to Xubuntu (Lubuntu is nice but I don't like the file manager) It's funny, I used to like Kubuntu in the old days until they gave it KDE4 which always seemed sluggish and annoying for me, that was when I switched to Gnome. But other than stability and such due to the maturity of gnome 2.x I personally think it'd be difficult to argue that gnome 2.x is superior to either Unity or Gnome-shell. Or I mean, you might not, they aren't for everyone and you can move on to a different interface for sure. once you do you'll likely find that you can do things faster and that you might actually like it. You have to learn a new way of doing the things you used to do one way with a new interface. I think most people's problem is that they are trying to use Unity and Gnome-shell the way they used to use gnome 2.x, which just doesn't work. Personally, I think (although they still need quite a bit of work, but the idea) they both look better, and work better than gnome 2.x. I actually had to customize gnome 2.x and install third party applications before to get all the functionality that I get natively now with Unity and Gnome-shell. Yeah they have some flaws and some arguably mac-like moves some of which I don't agree with but it definitely increases productivity if used correctly. Unity and Gnome-shell are much better though honestly. If you want to stick with gnome classic forever, lets hope some people feel the same way and fork it and maintain it themselves. Gnome dropped support for it, it's a necessary move. ![]() It won't be in Ubuntu 11.10 and it likely won't be in any other distro soon. ![]() "Classic style" (aka Gnome 2.x with gnome panels) is dead. I tried kubuntu, and wasn't at all happy with that either. But I'm with you - as long as we continue to have the option of the classic style interface, I'm OK. Text Editors to Improve Text and Code Writing/Editing.Well, I don't know about stupid - preferences are what they are. Text editors come in various forms, but you can broadly classify them as basic text editors (plain text or rich text) and source-code editors. The difference between both kinds, at large, lies in the functionality and purpose that they serve. While text editors offer functionalities that solely focus on simplifying creating and editing documents, source-code editors provide additional features to speed up the code writing process. For instance, a source- code editor gives you syntax highlighting, autocomplete, indentation, and bracket matching, among other features, which you do not get to see on a basic text editor.Īs such, you can use a source- code editor for general document writing and editing, but it is not wise to use a basic editor for writing code. For, even though you can do it, the lack of development-specific features on a basic text editor might not offer as good an experience as a source- code editor or an IDE ( integrated development environment). With that out of the way, here are the best text editors for Mac. Visual Studio Code or VS Code is a freeware source- code editor from Microsoft. It is built on the Electron framework and is compatible with all major operating systems: Linux, macOS, and Windows. ![]() One aspect of VS Code that separates it from other source-code editors is that, instead of using a project-based system, it allows you to work with multiple directories and isolate them into different workspaces - kind of like a language-agnostic code editor. Talking about functionality, you can use VS Code to write programs in various languages: C/C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, and Go. It provides an extensive set of features to help you in the coding process, such as support for syntax highlighting, snippets, code refactoring, debugging, intelligent code completion (or autocomplete), and Git integration. Moreover, you also get the ability to collaborate and work remotely with your peers in real-time. If you are just getting started, Visual Studio Code provides features like IntelliSense and Peek Definition to help you understand various aspects of programming languages.Ītom is a free and open-source source- code editor developed by GitHub - now owned by Microsoft. ![]()
