I know that both Emacs and Vim are Turing complete programming environments. Heater wrote:I would not be surprised at all. So ANY syntax highlighting editor is not the same as a code editor, because I've tried nano and then Atom and it's not the same. Autocomplete, type checking (TypeScript >.>), error checking and a lot more features exist in my go-to editor, Atom, and also VSCode (another good one) and Sublime, which help streamline web programming A LOT TBH. Syntax highlighting is not the only thing any code editor provides. first of all, we were talking about code editors, not IDEs, watch the phrasing and second, that last part is just wrong. If you prefer something different use something different.Īs both languages asked about are stored as text as edited, with no compile stage involved all that an IDE can realy provide is syntax highlighting, so any good syntax highlighting editor is the closest to an IDE. If on Raspbian (or other Linux) compile SetEdit, if on RISC OS use !StrongED. Yes SetEdit can, and so can !StrongED, both support syntax highlighting for both HTML and Java Script. Heater wrote:Except that none of those can actually do what the opening poster was asking for. There is certainly more to what Atom and VS Code does than just syntax highlighting. Nobody has ever heard of SetEdit or !StrongED so I won't comment in those.

Ironically programmers can now get exactly that taste of freedom from the experience of using VS Code. 'We hope that the experience of using GNU Emacs on Windows will give programmers a taste of freedom, and that this will later inspire them to move to a free operating system such as GNU/Linux.'

In the Emacs FAQ there is the question 'Why support GNU Emacs on Windows?'.

Note that both Atom and VS Code are free and open source. I would be very surprised if the end result was anything like as quick an easy to install, configure and use Atom or VS Code. I would be surprised to find that anyone has taken the trouble program them to do what Atom or VS Code does.
