okay. i am puttering around tonight with VS Code.
trying to make clojure happy and maybe figure out this whole "hey you can do git and terminal and everything in one package" thing.
because i used to use Dreamweaver back in the pre-Sublime days and that's kinda what that did, too. built in FTP, file browsing, code completion.
a lot of folks used to knock it because of the GUI, but the code view kinda kicked ass.
this has been: JP rambles like a total geek.
@pixelpaperyarn git always counts as terminal for me and the VC goodies boil down to "Oh, so you're showing me the things I changed? Nice", because it feels really cumbersome to branch, pull, commit and so on with a graphical UI.
So most built in terminals are fine, unless you need to pull some hackers shit and by that point terminator is the only one that cuts it for me.
@pixelpaperyarn GUIs for git scare me because I see git as an angry and unforgiving god who will do bad things you didn't ask it to do if you use a GUI. But this is clearly a matter of me being really superstitious about it.
GUIs are nice in general.
@Rumpelcita gitKraken has been really lovely and makes the git god happy because PRETTY COLORS.
work requires antiquated gitbox which is a bit garbage but handles submodules like a dream. which is saying a lot considering they are demonspawn.
@Rumpelcita totally true. i do some command line git, but at work we have 6 submodules shared by 6 parent repos that we work in daily, so a GUI is the only way i can wrap my head around where i am in all that.
translation being that i grok GUIs pretty quick. :)
