Programming This forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Microsoft Visual Studio. Closest linux alternative is Kate. If it isn't present, then I"ll use whatever is available - jedit, kwrite, vim, mcedit.
Yeah, vim is presented on every linux I have ever seen, rather than emacs. But, vim on debian stream os, really differ from those on redhat stream, the default mode of debian, I don't know what it exactly is, is really difficult to use. Every time I have to enter a command to go to the original mode before using it.

So is there something stopping you from bringing your favourite .vimrc with you so it has all the bells and whistles you like
