quick facts
Windows or *nix?
Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 for personal, MacOS professionally.
vim or emacs?
vim, but I’ve used emacs when playing around with common-lisp’s slime repl, and it was nice.
tabs or spaces
I like the compactness of spaces, but there is a semantic use for tabs which I can appreciate. But I am most happy when using an automated formatter like prettier.
