FOSS alternative to VSCode/VSCodium for LAMP/LNMP dev (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hey everyone. I've been a Linux user since 2008, and have kept myself solidly within FOSS or GNU/Libre software for a really long time. Not to be a total walking stereotype, I am fundamentally against Microsoft for a multitude of reasons, and I wanted to see if anyone out there has moved onto something different as well. VSCode is a juggernaut in terms of what it can do for developer workflows thanks to the insane plugin community, so I know I'll need to adjust to a new workflow to a certain degree.

I develop in Laravel and some Symfony, MariaDB and PGSQL, Vue3 and Tailwind. Testing, static analysis, and linting suites are ran on the command line, so that's not an issue. I don't use AI in any capacity of my life, so that's also not a requirement. If I could find something that offers a "run this cli command on file saving", that's really about the biggest requirement I hope to have in place.

I tried KDevelop with PHP support, but that IDE feels very much geared towards KDE development first and foremost. I gave Netbeans a shot last year, and I couldn't quite get my groove going after a couple weeks. Every couple of years I keep checking in on editors like Netbeans or Sublime... but I feel like I'm not aware of other options.

Suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

I've been keeping an eye on the Zed editor. Developed by some of the same people that made Atom. It's probably stable enough now that I need to give it another go

I was all in until I saw it supports vibe coding.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Though it does support AI or vibe coding it doesn't push it, while using the editor they don't even advertise it. You could go about using the editor without encountering it. They are just just few small buttons in the corner if you want to use it.

AI supports American fascism, and American fascism supports AI.

I have a zero tolerance for fascism.

A potentially interesting alternative to Zed without the AI...

(That I have not used, so I don't know if it's good or bad)

Well, if we're already posting all the new Rust-based editors, then we're still missing Helix: https://helix-editor.com/

Unlike the other two, it's community-developed, but it being terminal-based might not fit everyone's taste...

I started using Helix in the last year and it has been fantastic. I mostly work on embedded systems in C, C++, Rust and some Python. I love having a modal editor that uses select->verb syntax and that actually cares about discoverability.

I'm Helix only since a couple of years. My dev life is great.
