Lightweight jQuery drag-and-drop sorting plug-in

　　

 

If we compare different program developers to various princes in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then the code editor can be regarded as a powerful weapon in our hands, different types of developers use different "weapons. For example, there is no absolutely strong weapon, and there is no absolutely good weapon. Each weapon has its own advantages and disadvantages. Although the saying goes well, it is an inch long and an inch strong, however, if you have nothing to do, it seems that it is not very convenient to carry the "Qinglong yundun" of "Guan ye. So what kind of code editor is the best for our developers?

In today's article, we will compare various types of code editors from the following aspects:

Friendliness

Functionality

Scalability

Interface/experience

Cross-platform

Price

　　Master level

　　Vi

Vi is a very familiar code editor for unix friends. How many great programs and code are developed and edited by vi? Since it is a master-level code editor, for ordinary people, we can only say that it is not easy to use. Basically, most of my friends around me use vi because the operating system does not install other editors, and they are also lazy to install them. Of course it is quite troublesome to use. You have to remember a lot of commands. If you can't remember them, the only thing you can do is to close them. I still remember that when I first used vi, I honestly printed a command table and pasted it on the wall for reference at any time.

　　

 

　　Vim

Vim is a text editor similar to Vi, but many new features are added on the basis of Vi. Vim is generally regarded as the most useful one in the class Vi editor. It was first released in 1991 and won the welcome of the Open Source world. Unlike other code editors, the command line method works. Unlike the simple input code, you choose to enter and select text, run the regular expression search, and use more other commands. Vim can be very suitable for expansion by using scripts and plug-ins. Supports GUI or command line. All operating systems are supported. In most Linux systems, it is pre-installed.
