I hate text editors
#21
Perfection is 100% once lost, never regained.
But -- how would you ever really define something that doesn't exist --
I think whatever it is should be qualified with 'Nothing on Earth'

Hm! I can associate it with the marriage. If you marry a woman with which you have difficulty in relationships you ruin your life. Same. If you use an editor which brings you nerves and waste your time you get sick.
I am not coding so much right now so I can't tell which of all editors I have installed fits me well but as I like simplicity perhaps vim is going to be the choice for me. Not for now. I have to clear out my python coding to low the errors I make. I don't think vim has something to correct me.

I still have an old PC with big floppy disks and dos operating system.
I keep it, and evry once in a while fire it up just to see if the cmos battery is still good.
One great thing I will always miss is debug mode, where you could dump memory, files,
assemble and disassemble code. It was my buddy during some very early code days.
Back then you could call Peter Norton on the phone to ask questions about Norton Utilities,
best product he ever made.

You have one of them fancy advanced models.  Mine reads/writes from/to cassette tape.....
Floppy disk?  OMG, such luxury....
I recall when they moved the reset button to the front due to the large number of times it had to be used....
Did you know that "Turbo" button caused the system to operate at a slower clock speed to allow the CPU to run the advanced software?

i traded in my old Apple II for a stereo system and later got an Amiga 500 with an extra floppy. then in 1992 i bought a PC and ran DOS long enough to make some floppies to install SLS Linux on my 170MB hard drive. yes that is an "M". now days i have a 4TB hard drive and an 8EB filesystem in the cloud.

I wrote my first line of code in 1965, programmer in earnest by 1968.
Wrote some of the first micro based articles in kilobaud magazine in the 1970's
Been there.

Just wanted to give a +1 to PyCharm. Especially as a new programmer, it helps me get a lot of the setup out of the way so I can concentrate on assignments, projects, and just writing code. The constant "helpful" pop-ups are driving me crazy, but I'm sure I can tweak the settings to my liking. I wish it had the same Youtube presence as some of the more popular text editors, like Atom, but at least the official Pycharm documentation is concise and helpful.

PyCharm scares me. When I see too many buttons and menus I run away. Dodgy
