       my goal in life is to get to the point where me recommending the text editor I actually use for writing code sounds more like a joke and less like an actual serious recommendation

       @will it's pretty nifty, skips the whole "never touch your mouse again!" thing that vim and emacs kinda hit and instead uses the mouse as a distinct part of the editing experience, positing that you're unlikely to be writing code fast enough that reaching for the mouse is actually harmful to your coding, and that if you are, maybe you shouldn't be

       @will that said, in a completely different way from most modern editors if you install plan9port you can check it out, you may want to read the manfile for fontsrv too though if you want to use your nice otf/ttf fonts with it

       @pea nice.  I've used Sublime Text at work (though I'm not there anymore and my next employer has their own thing) and the multi-cursor thing was moderately useful
