I find that the default gui editor that comes with each desktop is good enough in most cases (xed with cinnamon, mouse with xfce, kate with kde, etc). But if you’re looking for a terminal editor, a lot of people are praising micro as very user-friendly with solid functionality.
I opened Micro out of curiosity as it’s installed on Garuda Mokka by default. ROFL It’s just an unseasoned barebones window, but some people like that kind of note taking. I would prefer Kate over Micro. If I had to choose (Kate is better for configurations or Python scripts that you don’t need to debug yet).
I guess it doesn’t seem like it to me on the surface, as there must be a config file that needs to be edited to get those enabled because I couldn’t find evidence of that on my basic inspection. So I decided to try out Obsidian, as I have been using Standard Notes, Filen and other such things for my notes. I might give it a go again at some point…
That’d be because micro doesn’t do a window, or at least doesn’t need one. It’s a terminal text editor, which some people prefer in general, but it can also be used without a graphical environment - like when SSHing into a server or recovering your system if the graphical environment breaks. Or if you’re editing critical system configs with sudo and want to do it from tty with a simple editor to minimize points of failure.
Yeah, I did mention that some people prefer a more barebones experience…But, I also recognize that it doesn’t fit my own use case. Based on what you said, Micro has a solid use for situations where there isn’t a graphical environment or need to minimize complication when working with critical system configs. There are levels of minimalism that I can’t truck with, so I will let people enjoy Micro without serious critique. Just casually poking fun at the idea…

micro is surprisingly powerful and has a good chunk of plugins you can use. it’s def my favorite and it’s really approachable.

Do it! Plugin list is Here!
Well, that’s interesting I might try it someday soon…Just to say that I have, and I am partial to anything that embraces Fish!
fish is the GOAT

How hard is it to learn from a scale where 0 is VS
codeslop and 10 is VIM?Considering how many buttons vs code has, micro seems easier to use
