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.

Visual Studio Code. It has great defaults out of the box, is highly customizable and extensible, has near universal support for every programming language, and runs reasonably fast on my machines.

Yeah VSCode is the GOAT. I reached a point where I basically only ever use any other IDE if I'm explicitly told to, or if I don't have a desktop environment to work with. Or if I have to work with Java, because sadly I found the Java support on VSCode to be rather lacking.

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 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I strongly recommemd VSCodeium, the FOSS-ified version

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years 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.

IntelliJ IDEA

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

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

JetBrains for everything

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Neovim or Jetbrains depending on the project and my mood.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

+1 for jetbrains, vscode feels basic compared to it

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

Visual Studio and VS Code.

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

Anything that is not Android Studio.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Intellij for backend, VS Code for front end

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

Emacs built with Nix. I host my configuration on GitHub.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I use Emacs. Doom Emacs to be exact :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

Notepad++ , nano if that counts lol

VSCode for Python and RStudio for R.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Visual Studio for work (c#), Pycharm when I need to do Python.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

VSCode usually, Xcode when working with Apple platforms specifically

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

what, no love for CodeLite when working on smaller projects?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm a code block and Eclipse kind of guy who forced to use Visual studio because of Unreal Engine

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

Visual Studio

Notepad++ for non ide stuff like data files and scripts.

Occasionally Visual Studio Code. For mass text replace and some other tooling / envs.
