Programming

I started using Helix editor a while back, and it hasn't disappointed yet. One important thing I've not yet got to work is Python debugging, so for that I usually switch over to VSCode or PyCharm. Otherwise a very good editor.

Neither of these are IDEs (nor is VSCode), but it'd be Zed and Neovim for me. Zed is fast and pleasant to use, but also will enshittify eventually. Debug support is in progress but not live. Neovim is fun and it's nice to be more in control of what is going on, but I haven't made the necessary progress to be productive in large projects with it yet. I was excited for Lapce but it fell short, had too many issues in a short time.

I love Eclipse for Java and QtCreator for C++/Qt. Eclipses auto-complete switched between psychic and psychotic at times but its integration with tools such as git and gradle is second to none. I never drunk the Jetbrains koolaid.

Komodo

Vim when I can, and when I can't, Neovim with plugins (LazyVim). Both are fast. I have had troubles with Neovim and configuration, and it does some things that really annoy me (like autoclosing parentheses - it just messes up everything). Honestly, the only feature that I really need is Go To Definition.

But vim - I absolutely love it. I started using it nearly 20 years ago and it still does everything one could want if you're willing to learn the keymaps and commands. Macros, ci), block indentation and so on. It's even great for editing XML. If the codebases I'm working on these days weren't so large and complicated, I would still be using it with very little configuration in my .vimrc.

VSCod(ium). Jetbrains IDEs are arguably better (I've used this some in the past), but I like OSS and having all languages in one IDE (even though some languages may not be integrated as well as others).

I use a different IDE for each language in which I code

ed

Jetbrains Rider for C# and VSCodium for arduino / microcontroller programming.

I’m trying to learn my way around the tmux + neovim life but the learning curve might be too much for me.

Xcode because I build iOS apps.

VS Code at work, Zed at home.

Despite Zed crashing my laptop every once in a while, it's been a refreshing change-up from VS Code.

I use a vim extension in both btw...

Professionally I do use VS Code but at home I have Lapce installed. It opens really fast. I don't do anything extensive at home so I haven't explored the plugin ecosystem yet but it's fast. That's most of what I care for at home

Notepad

My preference is Visual Studio. For some technologies, and mass-text-replace, I use Visual Studio Code.

A long time ago my main IDE was Eclipse for C++ and Java before that. Recently, I've tried RustRover for Rust as an alternative to VS Code.

Lately the most frequent ide/editors I've been using are sublime text, eclipse, and teXworks. I'd like to replace sublime text, maybe go back to emacs or give neovim a try. I'll probably get rid of eclipse once I can replace the ee containers with self contained apps, I used vs code for a bit with java and it was fine but the ee server container integration wasn't great, this was a couple years ago I last tried though.

Notepad++, all i do is edit java class files.

I love kdevelop

I use jupyter notebooks on VSCode
