To add to this, I find immense value in dealing with text files. In other words, treating them like I treat my code. It plays well with my choice of text editor, version control system, and distribution. Word just doesn't fit all these criteria. Being non-free and proprietary makes it a pretty awful choice for collaboration and distribution.

For the same reasons, I even switched to making all my presentations in latex even though I believe Google slides and Powerpoint are feature-wise unarguably superior.


Tabnine and something like deoplete are not directly comparable in my opinion. Deoplete is a completion framework (with dictionary based language specific systems) and tabnine is an intelligent language-agnostic completion system. You could theoretically have Tabnine support deoplete (it is currently YCM based). As the author mentioned in an other reply, dictionary based completion systems are good for api exploration, while tabnine is for more contextual completion.


I wrote a Deoplete source for TabNine: https://github.com/tbodt/deoplete-tabnine


Deoplete is not dictionary based. Deoplete sources are python classes that yield lists of 'matches' (some are language specific and some are not). You can make it give you back quite about anything.

(Disclaimer: I wrote deoplete's original version of the "file" source, which completes file paths).



Great book. This in combination with: a) the Drew Neil vimcasts and; b) Tim Pope's pathogen system and; c)NERDTree helped me to get to a point where Vim does most of what I want.


Wesnoth brought me into turn based strategy. Game mechanics and elements aside, the story in various scenarios were surprisingly captivating. I could imagine myself role playing as the protagonist.


The analogy is simple, gaming is a sort of sport. The professionals are fully into it, the fans play the game as well, support their favourite teams and watch tournaments, just like any other sport. When comparing games like dota and chess, the similarity is even more evident. But it will take some time for this analogy to be accepted worldwide.
