Whichever Jetbrains IDE is appropriate. I fell in love with Rider and wound up paying for their all-inclusive license. I've since made heavy use of Webstorm, CLion, and Datagrip professionally and personally.

NeoVim. Endlessly customizable, quick to start, and can offer whatever niche feature you’d like. Did I say it was endlessly customizable?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same here. I've used vim/neovim for decades now.

I hated configuring it then (in vimscript). I hate configuring it now (in lua).

When I first started programming a few years ago, I used Python's default IDLE. After a few months of that I switched to Atom (RIP), and shortly after moved to VS Code. I've stuck with VS Code since.

I strongly recommemd VSCodeium, the FOSS-ified version

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Will give this a look. See how hard it is to install and use when using a screen reader. Really like that there's no telemetry

I missed Atom a lot when it was discontinued. Recently found Pulsar which is a community continuation of Atom, and it seems to be quite active.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yay, Im happy there is at least one pulsar mention! We are thinking of setting up a Lemmy community but want to make sure there is enough interest.

VS Code, but may switch to VSCodium or Neovim eventually.

JetBrains for everything

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Neovim or Jetbrains depending on the project and my mood.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

JetBrains IDE all the way. Mostly Intellij Idea, WebStorm, CLion (for Rust) and PhpStorm. Once in a while Visual Studio Code for a quick text file edit.

I have a JetBrains All Product Pack license, so they are always my first choice. I tried VSCode and vim, but they require so much work to get to a useable state whereas a true IDE can be used right away. I want to code and not turn fiddling with my editor into a hobby. I do use VSCode and vim, but only for editing text. And I use vim key bindings everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

+1 for jetbrains, vscode feels basic compared to it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Can confirm. Your do get stuff done with that suite.

I use mainly webstorm, rider and intellij

[–] oddMinus1 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IntelliJ. With Vim-keybinding.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Also vscode. With vim-keybindings.

I just use a stack of cards and a knitting needle.

Emacs with doomemacs config. Really fast and very neat for what I do.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Spacemacs here. Been using it so long (and without major problems) that I'm afraid to start experimenting with other distros, or writing my own config.

[–] dbrw 3 points 1 year ago

I was using spacemacs before trying doom, from what I can tell, it's an upgrade. Doom config loads faster than spacemacs on my computers. Loving both project tho.

Neovim. Nothing interesting, but it gets the job done way better than anything else I tried. I had my own config until a week ago, when I switched to nvchad because of my unwillingness to port my config to lazy.nvim plugin manager.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's also perfect if you spend time on any remote machines. The default configuration isn't awesome, but it does "get the job done".

Vim for light work, emacs when I need more ide features. I program mostly in fortran, c , c++, and bash on remote servers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Visual Studio and VS Code.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Anything that is not Android Studio.

Visual Studio professional. It’s so slow though. Would love to use anything else, but am locked down due to work.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Vi. Not even Vim. Just whatever vi is preinstalled on Arch Linux.

IDE's and I... don't get along.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Recently started using neovim with LazyVim and I'm enjoying it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Intellij for backend, VS Code for front end

I mostly code in Python and for that I use PyCharm. For everything else I use VS Code.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I use Emacs. Doom Emacs to be exact :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Notepad++ , nano if that counts lol

[–] agelord 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

VSCode for Python and RStudio for R.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You're me! Though I'm closely following the progress of the R and Jupyter extensions for vscode. They're not an RStudio replacement yet, but I think soon R will be comparable to python in vscode, and I'd love to consolidate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

VSCode usually, Xcode when working with Apple platforms specifically

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not seeing textmate in the replies. It’s a nice lightweight one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Mostly VSCodium and Sublime-texr

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It keeps changing with the job. I've used Eclipse a whole bunch of times for Java projects, IntelliJ a couple of times. Pycharm for Python. Vim for Bash and a bunch of other stuff. QT Creator for some C++ with the QT framework. Now it's mostly VSCode.
