Well it depends what platform you are coding on. Like Java, C#, Python, R etc.
VSCODE takes the cup 🏆🥇
It varies on what I need to do. My main editor is VIM. I use it for Python and JS. My setup is pretty slick and not many plugins or configurations.
I have some freelance stuff that needs to be done in Java. And for that, no better choice than IntelliJ Idea (I even pay for the commercial version).
From time-to-time I try VS Code but, as far as it goes, my brain is too deep into VIM. Even with VIM keybidings I don't feel confortable enough.
VIM? Ugh.
edis the one, true editor. =)VS Code for sure the all time best
IDE: VS Code
I work with:
Most of the common languages/technologies have extensions, so it makes it easier/friendlier to use them.
Python Django - as far as I know, PyCharm Community Edition doesn't support Django natively, while VS Code has no limitation with Django (or with any other technology/framework), so if you're working with Django you should consider that.
And another crazy thing, you can run VS Code in your browser - github.com/cdr/code-server
Also see Visual Studio Codespaces/GitHub Codespaces.
The one that also does my laundry.
The one you like the most :)
SublimeText. I've tried VS Code and it is pretty nice, but for my workflow it doesn't do anything SublimeText doesn't already.
Are you a unicorn that's actually bought a license?
"Unicorn" is awfully kind ;)
But yes, I did buy a license - I like to support the software that makes my life easier. Plus, work actually bought the license.
Well good job! :)
I see a lot of people using it with the unlimited trial who just shrug when I ask why.. I just shake my head and go back to VSC :(
Why licence when there's limetext?
Very language dependent but VSCode ALL. THE. WAY.
It depends on the language.
For Java, I use IntelliJ IDEA which is the best for that :)
I mainly use VS Code for the others.
And XCode for Swift.
