I use hexedit for all my programming, that way I can see my text’s source code. It allows things that are impossible with lesser editors, like differentiate l and 1. Newer versions even provide a “live view” that shows your text’s output right beside its source, updated almost instantly. I don’t personally use it as it consumes a lot of resources but it’s a great help if you’re just starting out.
Do you all seriously edit text files directly‽
