I'm a terminal junkie. Atom and Sublime look really appealing, but until they have a CLI, they're just not viable for me.

EDIT: Google turned up this, for any other console jockeys out there.

Yeah, i get that. I tried really hard to be a vim wizard and i always went back to sublime just simply because i could do a few things faster in it.

If i'm ever in a terminal and need to edit something real quick, chances are i'lk just type "vim <whatever>" and go. But if i'm sitting down at a largeish project, i'll definitely be using Atom/Sublime/some IDE. Maybe one day i'll sit down and force myself to use vim more.

Slap looks pretty interesting though, i'll look into that.

Maybe lucky for you, Atom has a package called 'vim-mode' that does exactly what it sounds like. While still keeping tree view, and the nice look and all. I have a friend that uses it (not much of a vim aficionado myself...) and he loves it.

I did that several times with emacs, but finally got the hang of it.

I just prefer the terminal. My world is a terminal and a browser. Moreover, I'm not running X in an SSH session.

If i'm working on a large project i'll use sshfs to mount the remote as a folder and work like that. Learning about sshfs changed my life.
