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)

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.

Zed

Visual Studio Professional mostly because it is included for my job and we develop on mostly Microsoft stack. VS Code for simple text editing outside of a project.

I use vscodium which is vscode with all the telemetry ripped out. Anybody can make malicious extensions for any IDE, so I don’t see what’s speccial in that regard. It’s just a reminder that you want to be careful about extensions you install.
