Whichever Jetbrains IDE is appropriate. I fell in love with Rider and wound up paying for their all-inclusive license. I've since made heavy use of Webstorm, CLion, and Datagrip professionally and personally.

Visual Studio Code. It has great defaults out of the box, is highly customizable and extensible, has near universal support for every programming language, and runs reasonably fast on my machines.

[–] kplaceholder@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah VSCode is the GOAT. I reached a point where I basically only ever use any other IDE if I'm explicitly told to, or if I don't have a desktop environment to work with. Or if I have to work with Java, because sadly I found the Java support on VSCode to be rather lacking.

NeoVim. Endlessly customizable, quick to start, and can offer whatever niche feature you’d like. Did I say it was endlessly customizable?

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

Same here. I've used vim/neovim for decades now.

I hated configuring it then (in vimscript). I hate configuring it now (in lua).

When I first started programming a few years ago, I used Python's default IDLE. After a few months of that I switched to Atom (RIP), and shortly after moved to VS Code. I've stuck with VS Code since.

[–] DARbarian@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I strongly recommemd VSCodeium, the FOSS-ified version

[–] NoConfigence2192@rblind.com 6 points 2 years ago

Will give this a look. See how hard it is to install and use when using a screen reader. Really like that there's no telemetry

I missed Atom a lot when it was discontinued. Recently found Pulsar which is a community continuation of Atom, and it seems to be quite active.

IntelliJ IDEA

[–] kalanggam@beehaw.org 17 points 2 years ago

VS Code, but may switch to VSCodium or Neovim eventually.

JetBrains for everything

[–] supernovae@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

Neovim or Jetbrains depending on the project and my mood.

[–] fkrauthan@lemmy.cogindo.net 10 points 2 years ago

JetBrains IDE all the way. Mostly Intellij Idea, WebStorm, CLion (for Rust) and PhpStorm. Once in a while Visual Studio Code for a quick text file edit.

I have a JetBrains All Product Pack license, so they are always my first choice. I tried VSCode and vim, but they require so much work to get to a useable state whereas a true IDE can be used right away. I want to code and not turn fiddling with my editor into a hobby. I do use VSCode and vim, but only for editing text. And I use vim key bindings everywhere.

[–] peter@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago

+1 for jetbrains, vscode feels basic compared to it

[–] LightningHaqeem@feddit.dk 2 points 2 years ago

Can confirm. Your do get stuff done with that suite.

I use mainly webstorm, rider and intellij

[–] flakusha@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

I just use a stack of cards and a knitting needle.

[–] oddMinus1@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

IntelliJ. With Vim-keybinding.

[–] a_ho@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Also vscode. With vim-keybindings.

Emacs with doomemacs config. Really fast and very neat for what I do.

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Spacemacs here. Been using it so long (and without major problems) that I'm afraid to start experimenting with other distros, or writing my own config.

[–] dbrw@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I was using spacemacs before trying doom, from what I can tell, it's an upgrade. Doom config loads faster than spacemacs on my computers. Loving both project tho.

[–] thepiguy@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Neovim. Nothing interesting, but it gets the job done way better than anything else I tried. I had my own config until a week ago, when I switched to nvchad because of my unwillingness to port my config to lazy.nvim plugin manager.

Visual Studio and VS Code.

[–] gianni@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago
[–] Nebulizer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Vim for light work, emacs when I need more ide features. I program mostly in fortran, c , c++, and bash on remote servers.

[–] Granixo 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Anything that is not Android Studio.

Vi. Not even Vim. Just whatever vi is preinstalled on Arch Linux.

IDE's and I... don't get along.

[–] Jamie@jamie.moe 5 points 2 years ago

Recently started using neovim with LazyVim and I'm enjoying it.

Intellij for backend, VS Code for front end

[–] chadac@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

Emacs built with Nix. I host my configuration on GitHub.

[–] ribboo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Visual Studio professional. It’s so slow though. Would love to use anything else, but am locked down due to work.

[–] credmp@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I use Emacs. Doom Emacs to be exact :)

[–] daddyjones@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
[–] flashmedallion@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I mostly code in Python and for that I use PyCharm. For everything else I use VS Code.

[–] bauklotz@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago
[–] Kushia@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Visual Studio for work (c#), Pycharm when I need to do Python.

[–] agelord@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

VSCode for Python and RStudio for R.

VSCode usually, Xcode when working with Apple platforms specifically

[–] Alex@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Mostly neovim, sometimes VS code

[–] wizebin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

VSCode is the best code editor around, the plugin ecosystem is phenomenal, copilot specifically has been the biggest boost to my output in 15 years of development.

Unfortunately it doesn't do everything, I got stuck with some really old legacy software and have to hop into the vb6 ide, code::blocks, and very rarely visual studio.

Multi-cursor wizardry is absolutely life changing
