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.

Neovim

Neovim (heavily customized configuration) + tmux for me. Switched from Jetbrains IDE and VSCode to this ~5 years ago. I use neovim with every language.

Fast to use, one app for all and I have customized that to my liking and I already spent half of my time in terminal while working anyway. + knowing how to use vim helps a lot when configuring servers remotely.

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

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.

Emacs with evil-mode or when I am banging around the console, neovim.

VSCode at work, VSCodium at home

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

Helix. I hate tweaking my ide. I just want to launch it and get to work. Setting up my LSP/formatter/theme is the most i’m willing to put up with and that’s all Helix asks for to be an IDE.

Pulsar because I am (or at least was and will be, I've been a bit absent recently) part of the team developing it. Its a fork of Atom to continue development after GitHub pulled the plug, entirely community developed and focused.

Neovim ( not heavilly customized, mostly just lsp+trisitter and mini.nvim for a lot of other stuff ) and tmux ( which is also barelly customized + sesh for sessiond management. Also have it start automatically whem opening my terminal ).

Started using neovim right away when switching to linux back in 2018, started using tmux only last year and it's a godsend for even just regular terminal work not just with neovim.

I also reccomend for anybody who tries to learn neovim to learn touch typing and get to atleast 60wpm, it's a big difference.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

Kate just because I have to learn coding and it was installed and idgaf

I don't really have a main IDE. I work with python, so on my work PC they got me a PyCharm license.

For everything else, I casually switch between Pulsar (Atom fork), Notepad++, Spyder, and I did some stuff in VSCode. If the project is small and is an aws lambda, I use their web editor

Anything goes really

Android studio, clion and sometimes vs code but I'm not really happy with it.

At work Rider, at home Emacs. Also trying out Zed 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.

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...

JetBrains. They're paid, but they're just that good.

I don't! Mine isn't integrated. I edit the code in one software and compile and run it in another.

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.

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.

IntelliJ at work, neovim at home.

I use Geany. It's lightweight and easy to use, but there are some features missing.

mostly gedit nowadays, but i'm more on the infrastructure side now, grain of salt.

Still enjoying using Sublime. If I had to leave I’d probably go back to vi.

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.

Doom emacs. There is no end to customizability with emacs. Doom provides a great starting point for most things.
