Curious as I may need to learn front end again. I mainly use Visual Studio Code.

If you’re going to venture into (neo)vim, which I strongly endorse, check out SpaceVim.

Vim, like Emacs, has a steeeeep learning curve, no doubt. Unless you feel strongly about it, VSCode might be the better choice.

Sublime was an add on and nag ware nightmare last I looked. Right back to notepad++ for me.

I'm mostly writing router config these days so nothing does the good IDE tricks on my syntax.

Does perl, sed, and awk written in vi over ssh count as front end work? /s

Hehe. Its probably been over a decade since I last used Notepad++ on windows. Awesome editor. I use VS Code for edits when im not just doing something quickly in vim and want the color syntax highlighting. I could be mistaken but I believe there are extensions for Perl.

I don't do perl anymore thankfully and I won't be going back.

Last I checked, Sublime was a terrible band that I prefer to continue to forget. :)
