Lol "as good as intellij" what the actual fuck.

I cannot imagine how much worse you'd have to make vscode to make it as shit as intellij is. And even vscode is pretty shit.

Kotlin would be a great language if it wasn't hampered by that IDE.

Really hoping Zed takes off, VSCode while versatile, feels clunky and slow

Having bunch of plugins built-in is not any better than having a bunch of plugins

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Having a bunch of plugins built-in means also supported in updates and play nice with each other

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I would argue it's worse. You can't choose the things that are actually beneficial to you and how you work.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can, they are not built in but bundled

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's just built in with extra steps.

You guys use editors? Real programmers only need a mechanical hard drive, a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

describing IntelliJ as "good".

Plugins on a universal open source IDE are a better system than specialised proprietary IDEs (that also share "core" code but it's not open source).

Fight me.

Fair warning though: I know these

Lol wow, intelliJ? Shit's slow as fuck

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

I have 60ish plugins for VS Code and IntelliJ is still slower / sluggish.

NGL I'd use jetbrainz products more if they weren't that pricey and more portable

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Most of their IDEs you can use for free for non-commercial purposes and even if you need to buy them; when you compare software development to any other profession our tools are incredibly cheap. You can get all the Jetbrains IDEs for less than 300€. Compare that to a HDL simulator or a 3D CAD application like Autodesk. These easily cost several thousand euros each year.

Switched to Zed recently, after finding out it's basically flawless on Linux now (it was pretty bad initially) and after about 20 minutes uninstalled vscodium for good.
It's a very solid editor and one less electron thing on my system.

vscode is actually a pretty decent code editor for my needs. I use VSCodium which is basically the same thing except lacking support for a few proprietary extensions (most notably the Microsoft C/C++ extension, so I use clangd instead which for some reason was way easier to set up with copr repo on fedora than either on windows or with flathub on fedora...)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Maybe I just have a shitty computer, but I feel like as good as intelliJ is, it's very slow compared to VScode. And fuck me if I'm trying to do anything in Android Studio.

Yes, I’d rather have 35 different IDEs for every task I need to do. Much better than One To Rule Them All.

VSCode is just Emacs with a weirder Lisp. (/s)

(You can tear my Emacs from my cold dead hands)
