VSCode + Vim keybindings + Metals for Scala development. I used to use IntelliJ (paid and free) + the Scala plug-in, and Pycharm (free). For Scala I’d be fine with either VSCode or Jetbrains, just depends on who is paying (or not paying). I suspect that Python support in VSCode is a lot better these days so it might be a viable option to Pycharm. I need to check out VSCodium, if it works well with Metals and gets frequent updates I might make the switch.

I use JetBrains IDEs. IntelliJ, Pycharm, Goland, and Webstorm.

I keep using emacs, mainly because it has an innovative ecosystem that provides interesting ways to work - meow, consult, corfu, eglot, treesitter - so cool how these pieces for together.

Helix + the appropriate set of LSPs.

It’s like neo vim without the need the manage plugins. That and it uses select -> action instead of vim style action -> select, which makes more sense to me.

JetBrains. They’re paid, but they’re just that good.

Emacs with evil-mode or when I am banging around the console, neovim.

VSCodium, the opensource, free-of-MSspyware Clone of VSCode.

Sure enough, Take Care about what Extensions you Install and why u need them.

Helix because it’s simple and works without tweaking it.

VSCode cuz I couldn’t find a good open source alternative written in c++ or rust that isn’t just a terminal text editor that needs a trillion plugins/configs to run (I would have tried zed if they ever made a version for windows, seems like the most promising ide to vsc)

For an actual IDE, Jetbrains. But I rarely need an actual IDE and will just generally use Vim for everything.

Kate just because I have to learn coding and it was installed and idgaf

I saw the security article, but that sounds like it needs to be tackled by MSFT, the way Google has to handle Chrome extensions.

Have been a paid Jetbrains user for years, especially PyCharm. But recently, I had to do some front-end web development with ionic/Capacitor and Vue, and ionic only had a VsCode plugin. A few weeks later, came across Cursor which is a fork of VsCode with LLM support, and all the same plugins worked.

Still keeping my PyCharm subscription, but am wobbly on whether I’ll re-up next year.

I’m just starting to learn to code via VSCode…

Do you guys actually think it’s worth switching? I guess it’s better to switch after you just started than when you’re in deep.

I’m a webdev and I mainly work with Vanilla JS, React and PHP - I use phpStorm now. Everything mostly works out of the box, it auto-detects my PHP environment, composer install (which is basically just npm for PHP), nice-to-have features like Stylelint and ESLint are also integrated and enable themselves by default if specific config files are found inside a project folder…it’s just nice. Open a project, see it do all of its magic, start to code.

Previously I’ve worked with VSCode and I needed a plugin for every single feature and every plugin had its own settings that you needed to be aware of. It was horrible. I was configuring my own IDE more than I was actually writing code. I get that it’s probably more flexible than phpStorm, but I just don’t have time do dig into plugin settings all of the time - and god forbid I work with a project from another developer and he uses a different extension than me for Stylelint or formatting .md files…
