I see, thanks

As for "drop down", I was loosely referring to the newly spawned terminal

clean scripts get the job done. I was thinking of persisting changes to the filesystem state only while the ephemeral shell was live, that way every time I ran nix develop i would check to make sure my project could automatically build, and If there was any state that needed persisting, I would have to commit/push and label those changes somewhere before ending my session

I've tried a few IDEs, mainly Microsoft ones as of recently, but I still prefer my neospacevim setup. Microsoft has a very nice debugger and other useful features for navigating large software projects, but even on my 3080 12th Gen i7 rig with 32GB the plugins I use end up slowing things down. Plus, a similar debugger interface can normally be found in an init.toml layer

With neospacevim, I can specify which plugins get loaded for which file types, so my LaTeX plugins don't interfere with my Python plugins for example.

Also the macro language locks me into vim, I even installed vimium keybinds for my browser. Spacevim is nice because you can see all the available keybinds option trees by pressing Space.

I mentioned spacevim/SpacEmacs because your post focused on emacs/vim, if you do choose either to make an IDE in I would imagine SpacEmacs/spacevim might be a little closer to an IDE than a text editor.

Spacevim is nice because it will auto install packages declared in the init.toml, sometimes with vanilla vim or neovim you need a plugin manager installed separately

I like Spacevim a lot (inspired by SpacEmacs), you can use neovim as the underlying vim package as well. Then update init.toml with whatever layers/plugins you want

Hmm true that is a concern

I'm just speculating here, but I remember way back when reddit was just a bunch of shitty html css and blue links. People would joke it would weed some times of people out

Maybe the complicated nature of federated web apps will drive away a similar crowd

buut iiim laaazyyy

Hmm yea I don't like it much either, however, I remember /r/technology got progressively worse and the alternative was just a shittier subreddit with a slightly different name.

Unison would be nice, but it's not so different from reddit come to think of it
