What is your favorite IDE?

Publish Date: Dec 11 '24

Happy Wednesday friends and family. Let's discuss your go-to IDEs. I've always been fond of Visual Studio Code (VS Code). It is easy to use and can accommodate many VS Code extensions.

Visual Studio Code combines the simplicity of a source code editor with powerful developer tooling, like IntelliSense code completion and debugging. Visual Studio Code supports macOS, Linux, and Windows - so you can hit the ground running, no matter the platform.

At its core, Visual Studio Code offers a fast and efficient source code editor, ideal for daily use. It supports hundreds of programming languages and enhances your productivity with features like syntax highlighting, bracket matching, auto-indentation, box selection, snippets, and more. Intuitive keyboard shortcuts, easy customization options, and community-contributed keyboard shortcut mappings allow you to navigate your code effortlessly.

Apart from VS Code, I am falling in love with Cursor. It has an AI that helps in debugging code.

Please share in the comments, and let's see your favorite IDE ⬇️.

    I used to really like PHPStorm, and now I also really like Cursor. Their composer feature is great because it helps me test and understand different technologies faster.

      That's why I'm beginning to love it; the "Enhanced Error Detection" saves me time and accelerates my work.

    Jetbrains suite

    • Mercy
      MercyDec 11, 2024

      JetBrains is one of the top leading because of its convenience of having git tools out of the box, no need to install many additional plugins.

      Interesting direction with their own AI copilot.

      Different instruments for different projects: VSCode can quickly become a mess when working with various steps, while the separation of responsibilities in JB works well.

      To solve the VS Code issue I migrated to Cursor but I will explore JetBrains someday.

    VSCode is a slow resource hog. SublimeText is my favourite - blazingly fast in comparison

    • Oscar
      OscarDec 11, 2024

      Haven't heard this name in a while! I used to use SublimeText, but got lazy and started using VSCode. I use Neovim now though.

      • Mercy
        MercyDec 11, 2024

        Sublime Text does not do code verification, perhaps not intellisense either, and I think you cannot debug either (please correct me if I'm wrong). I believe there's also a free tier and a paid tier or some licensing of some kind.

        I am not sure of it, statistically, it seems it is not mostly used.

        • Jon Randy 🎖️
          Jon Randy 🎖️Dec 11, 2024

          You're wrong about intellisense, code verification, and debugging. It also has a large library of plugins just like VSCode

          • Mercy
            MercyDec 11, 2024

            OK OK, I wasn't sure about it, thanks for correcting me

    Neovim. Perfect for... really everything I do.

    Edit: I also use it for my notes

    • Mercy
      MercyDec 11, 2024

      As far as I want to agree with you, 🫠I don't have experience using it.

    • Shishir
      ShishirDec 11, 2024

      Agreed, the speed of Neovim is a big reason I use it on the daily. The amount of time I can spend configuring plugins to my liking is the main reason I love using it.

      • Mercy
        MercyDec 11, 2024

        It appears to be a time-saving IDE; I would love to try it for my small projects.

      • Ahmed Jaad
        Ahmed JaadDec 12, 2024

        Are you saying you enjoy spending time configuring plugins more than writing the code that actually earns your paychecks?

        • Shishir
          ShishirDec 13, 2024

          I didn't say that. I enjoy putting in time configuring plugins and learning new ones. But I don't let it interfere with my earning window.

          • Mercy
            MercyDec 13, 2024

            I support you because it promotes learning instead of just having tasks done for you without understanding the process.

            • Ahmed Jaad
              Ahmed JaadDec 14, 2024

              No, it promotes wasting time. What does a developer truly gain from spending days watching step-by-step videos on configuring five LSPs? What value does that add to their skills or productivity.

              • Mercy
                MercyDec 14, 2024

                I'm afraid, I don't think so. If you are a developer who focuses on your own product, then you are wasting time. But if you do client work, you need to know how it's done. You might work for a company that needs a rebrand, meaning you will start from scratch. Just because you know how to use already configured plugins doesn't mean they will allow you to use them. You will do as they say, yet you do not have knowledge.

      Well I have a very niche reason. It works well with my budget wireless keyboard from China. It has an annoying trackpad that randomly moves the cursor to another location on screen which is just awful if it happens while typing. With neovims modal editing I can lock the keyboard down. It's so much part of muscle memory now that if I went to another ide I would be looking for vim key bindings.

        Looks promising and they promote themselves as a VS Code fork as well. But their pricing may deter individual developers in India, where few would pay $20 USD (₹1700) per user per month for an IDE.

    vsode for sure. I just use the most basic and important extensions for the type of work I do and it works like a charm.

    • Mercy

      I used it some time ago, and it worked perfectly. One major advantage is that it's free.

  • Gopikrishna Sathyamurthy

    I am a huge fan of jetbrains products, especially their git tooling. Specifically WebStorm, since I'm a JavaScript developer. And it's free now!

    I use vscode as a quick text editor for a lot of things. I know it can be a really powerful editor if configured correctly, but I dislike the configuring part. I already waste enough time indulging my OCD 😅.

    I have tried VS, eclipse, NB, and no, they are awkward to use.

    • Mercy
      MercyDec 11, 2024

      I have never tried any of these VS, eclipse, NB. Due to your experience with them, I am not going to try them. They are now a no for me.

    • Giles Webberley
      Giles WebberleyDec 11, 2024

      I'm far from being a pro (but trying to get back to it) and although I'm now a VS code user I did have some experience of Eclipse when I was learning a bit of openFrameworks as it was the best documented way to get started. Once I'd gained a bit of courage I moved those projects to VS code and I have gone on to use it for Unity development all the way through to studying React and working with it; I feel quite safe using it and am constantly learning how to use it properly :)

    WebStorm, with built in database viewing, database intellisense and great support for JSDoc related completion, coupled with a powerful debugger that just works on front and multi-process backend at the same time. Also, it's the navigation around a large code base that is the best reason to use this tool for me. Search anywhere - variable declaration, file name, component name, function name, class name - I can get around my code in milliseconds. I'm also not sure when I last actually typed a git command, the plugins for this are very powerful letting me review PRs and answer comments, check version histories and blame without leaving the context of my code.

    I use Sublime when I want a plain text editor, and I do use VS Code from time to time as some of my colleagues use it and I need it to work well in the code base.

    • Mercy
      MercyDec 11, 2024

      It sounds like you have a great workflow set up with WebStorm! The integrated database tools and JSDoc support really do enhance productivity, especially when working with complex projects. The navigation features you mentioned are a huge time-saver, allowing you to quickly find what you need without interrupting your flow.

    • Peter Vivo

    • Steven Brown
      Steven BrownDec 13, 2024

      Same. WebStorm for many reasons but the primary one is the git merge conflict resolution interface. I work in repositories with hundreds of other developers so the merge conflicts are inevitable and can be large at times. Some of the guys on my team that use VScode ask me to do the merges for them, then push the update to remote. It saves everyone so much time. One of them recently adopted WebStorm and is loving it.

  • Christophe Avonture
    Christophe AvontureDec 11, 2024

    No discussion for me since i'm a fan of Docker and do everything inside devcontainers. Vscode is free, I use it for everything (with the correct list of addons) and, back, since I use devcontainers, my environnement is configured for each project. Just need to open it and stuff are preconfigured.

    • Mercy
      MercyDec 11, 2024

      That sounds great! I would love to try that next time.

      • Christophe Avonture
        Christophe AvontureDec 12, 2024

        Search for "devcontainer" and "vscode" on Ggl.

        For instance, you don't need to install Python, neither any librairies neither any addons neither to configure... You should do nothing.

        You start the devcontainer and hocus pocus you can start to code, debug, run,... You and anyone since the devcontainer can be shared to anyone.

        Think to a team. One guy write all the stuff, shared the devcontainer ans anyone un the team, without any config at all on their side, is ready to code.

        Thanks to Docker and vscode

    I’ve tried all the new AI IDE’s and they I still think VS Code is just as good or better than all of them. Here is the list:
    Cursor
    Zed

            Yes? It's an IDE, where do you think that page says otherwise?

            ...and leaves more complex workflows to fuller featured IDEs, such as Visual Studio IDE.

            I think what you're trying to refer to is that it's missing a built-in compiler, however, that doesn't disqualify it from being an IDE by any definition 🤷

But I really don't like either too much so I started to write a own markdown first editor currently pre-pre-pre-eraly-alpha stage, but at least capable to show some minor code colorize, image tag, embed code, run a small js function, designed to a quick works, plus I have a lot of other idea which I can try with it. Even implementing some vim shortkeys.
    Single Stream project view .. where don't need to tab between files, just a big scroll down, can folding which is would like to skip. This idea is hard to solve in VSCode or vim for example.

    I've been coding for more than 20 years and tried almost EVERYTHING, but Jetbrains products are -by far- the very best of them... FOR CODING. It provides tons of functionalities, integrations, plugins and shortcuts that boosts productivity to the max. Not perfect, though, but very close to it.

    For 'casual file editing', vim or notepad++ are my preferred ones.

    VSCode. It's not perfect but does the job. It's autocompletion is usually on the spot. Second choice is neovim. It's pretty good too. In fact movements i. e jhkl keys and keybindings make it a fast code editor, but using it as an IDE is something I've never tried

    I work mostly with Python, so I use Jetbrains' PyCharm. Really great editor for writing Python code, especially when it comes to writing documentation (it auto-fills some things for classes and functions, like parameters). I also (and this may be a bit of a shock) used to write almost all of my HTML in Microsoft Notepad so that I could save and run the index.html file almost immediately on a school computer.

    I live on Linux, started on UNIX back "in the day."

    I was an Eclipse award-winning forum responder, especially in the help out beginniners space for many years (2005-2014). Then an employer forced me to IntelliJ IDEA. A couple of years later, I needed to do some Python and I tried out both PyDev and PyCharm. That's when I anteed up the dough to purchase JetBrains from then on. I admit that I do heavy editing outside my IDE using Vim because I've been a vi guy since about 1981. Vi is a text processor, not some namby pamby flashy editor. I also do git at the command line despite IDEA; I acknowledge my dinosaur nature.

    PhpStorm. Works for me and I am happy with it. It helps that I can develop in it and it has just enough of WebStorm included.

    I prefer to use Doom Emacs.
    I have tried vscode but I do not enjoy it it, jetbrains are interesting but are causing issues for me at work, and I do not enjoy having to use multiple ides for different languages.

    VSCodium since the first day
    PHPStorm for PHP development, i wasn't a fan at the beginning and prefer VSCodium, but JetBrains has some important plugins for my work, so.

    VS Code it just works for any language I use with the help of a few plugins. I've been a dev for a few years so getting the GitHub co-polit add in has been a game changer as I can ask it to explain the code if it's a new script I've not worked on before and it can help with finding bugs too.

    Do text editors count? I like Webstorm, I don't know of any other editors beside Eclipse and Netbeans

    • Mercy
      MercyDec 13, 2024

      Yes, text editors definitely count! WebStorm is a great choice, especially for JavaScript and web development. You might also want to check out Visual Studio Code. Other options include Sublime Text, Atom, and Notepad++. Each editor has its own strengths, so it depends on your specific needs and preferences!

      If you read through the comments you will find more IDEs of your choice

      I've been on netbeans for a very long time. I used jetbrains but back in the day it wasn't good at database connections so moved to netbeans.

      All that has changed of course but I have netbeans so ingrained in muscle memory it is hard to change.

      • Nathan
        NathanDec 16, 2024

        You can install keymaps and install a theme to make it look more like Netbeans while getting more functionality.. :)

    I love VS Code, it has a lot of extensions witch make life a lot easier , and is light weight, best of all it is very customizable, you can change themes, fonts, animations and more.

    • Jon Randy 🎖️
      Jon Randy 🎖️Dec 13, 2024

      Light weight? Hardly. It's electron based to my knowledge, which means you're running an entire web browser engine just to edit text files.

    Maybe I am a bit of a snob, but I really love Jetbrains IDEs. Unfortunately they cost some money, but I think that it is really worth: Their usage is intuitive, easy, responsive and adjustable. They even have basic tooling for code analysis integrated.

    At work we use vim, but its autocomplete (via clangd) is not as good as that of IntelliJ or CLion (both from Jetbrains).

    I'm a vim (neovim these days) type of person. I have VSCodium installed because every now and then I get curious and it has a really good vim keybindings extension, including doing things like split windows, which is great.

    VSCodium over VSCode though!

  • csgeek
    csgeekDec 13, 2024

    I find JetBrains products VERY good if you have access to them. I honestly find VSCode kind of slow and bloated. NeoVim is amazing if you have the time to configure it. Zed Editor is really REALLY nice and has some very cool AI functionality if you like that. It's not an debugger though but as far as editiong/code completion it's very cool.

    I migrated from BBEdit to Nova to VS Code.

    I miss working in Nova. I find it to be more elegant and intuitive, but it's hard to beat VSC's ecosystem.

    I still use BBEdit for minor text works, though!
