@kuriko At work I have to use vscode. But there is also an open source-variant of vscode called "VSCodium" (it's more or less the same as VS Code, but without Telemetry). https://vscodium.com/

[miles@snug.moe]

@kuriko yes. That or vscodium. Rarely eclipse/eclipse-based editors.
I'd like to try some cli based ones, but the learning curve is too steep.

@kuriko@wetdry.world I use Jetbrain IDEs most of the time. VSCode I only use for languages that have none or only limited support in Jetbrains, like for example Gleam or Elixir. I also use vim for simple stuff, but it's just not enough for more complex things.
A friend tried to teach me neovim, but it seems not worth the effort of setting it up properly right now. I also wanted to take a look at Zed and Helix at some point.

@kuriko@wetdry.world I use vscode more like a text editor than an IDE. in my opinion the distinction is "do I have to leave the program to do other stuff while developing software" and indeed yeah like half my workflow that isn't text editing is command line based. I don't ever use the runner functionality from vscode for instance, instead it's cargo run or whatever equivalent.

but yes. I use vscode.

[bluestaggo@wetdry.world]

@kuriko IntelliJ Idea Community for Java, Rider Non-Conmercial for C# and Kate for everything else. I used to use VSCode but the focus on AI was driving me nuts, Electron apps always suck and an update making all of the fonts invisible ended up being the last straw for me.

[eggbreakerdotexe@transfem.social]

@kuriko@wetdry.world i just use my text editor

[eggbreakerdotexe@transfem.social]

@kuriko@wetdry.world though tbf "my text editor" is Kate, which has syntax highlighting for a ton of programming languages built in

[frawst@fedi.fraw.st]

@kuriko@wetdry.world vscode for most things (specifically vscode for work and vscodium at home), vim if i have to work from a terminal

[sara_objectionable@app.wafrn.net]

I used to use codium, but Microsoft restricts that in weird ways.

Used vim/later neovim for most of my time programming.

And recently switched to eMacs. Which’s doing everything I want from an IDE that neovim wasn’t. (And for its reputation is surprisingly easy to learn if you use a modern distro like doom)

[hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus]

@kuriko@wetdry.world Hannah does not use vscode. If it had to use an "out-of-the-box" IDE... it would use vscodium (a fork without the Microslop branding).
Nowadays it tends to use Helix. It's a terminal editor yes yes.... but it does the work for this one.
Eyeing Neovim with lazyvim rn.... but will probably stay with Helix.

[aurelia@social.treehouse.systems]

@kuriko surprisingly, i just organically stopped using vscode for zed. it's pretty neat.

[piku@blahaj.zone]

@eggbreakerdotexe@transfem.social @kuriko@wetdry.world i mean kate has lsp support

[piku@blahaj.zone]

@kuriko@wetdry.world kdevlop because i really like a specific theme in it lmao

and i have a grudge against vscode

[piku@blahaj.zone]

@sodiboo@gaysex.cloud @kuriko@wetdry.world vscode integrated terminal tho?

[sodiboo@gaysex.cloud]

@piku@blahaj.zone @kuriko@wetdry.world okay sure technicality with my definition. I use a mix of integrated terminal and external terminal. this does not matter; I consider teaching for both as "leaving vscode"

[ash@gts.spooky.academy]

@kuriko thing i use that probably is an IDE: https://kate-editor.org

thing i use that i call an IDE but probably isn't: https://helix-editor.com/

[lystopad@app.wafrn.net]

i used to edit code in gnome builder, but tried helix (hx) in termux on my smartphon, and decided its not that bad and mostly use it now
