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

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.

Godot because i dont know any benefits of using another app exclusively for code

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

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…

For macOS and iOS development I use Xcode (don’t really have another choice), but otherwise I am using Kate. Kate has support for macOS and Windows in addition to Linux.

I’m not touching VSCode, I don’t want to use an electron app as a code editor, nor want to use something with Microsoft spyware and propriety plugins.

Neovim

I switch between VSCode and Notepad++ depending on what I am doing.

Not sure why you would ditch a program for correctly responding to a security threat.

I write code every day at my job. I use vim.

It does everything I need it to do, and it works exactly the same way on every system I touch, and functions the same way since I started using it decades ago (aside from being able to use arrow keys now instead of hjkl)

If I HAVE to do any coding on Windows, I use notepad++.

I use emacs for almost everything. It took time to get used to. And some time to configure things. But now I’m just riding off my years old config files and packages I wrote as my use case haven’t changed.

I use python, rust, C, R, jupyter notebook, org mode, latex, markdown, PDFs, xml, org-roam, etc.

VSCode at work, VSCodium at home

VSCode with VsVim or whatever plugin. It has the combination I like. Multi-cursor fills in most of the gaps I don’t like.

I’ve tried Neovim variants a few times. I usually get stuck at something and don’t have the time to figure it out. I need to take that time to learn everything and get it right but I get tired.

VSCode! I’m yet to find another editor that runs as smoothly on remote machines. Zed has been getting much better at this, but it’s still too buggy to consider a switch.
