Windows + Visual Studio :(
I use codium. It's basically VS code without all the proprietary and spooky telemetry. Works well as vscode
I try so hard to move away from this but I seem to always end up crawling back because something is missing or broken. DotRush is hopeful, though (assuming C#)
Unfortunately, the alternatives are really lacking. JetBrains Rider REALLY feels underbaked. No deal-breaking issues, but lots of little low-impact ones, and lots of design decisions that go against common conventions, for no apparent reason. The "Visual Studio Mode" doesn't really help.
On top of that, I've had several issues with RUNNING Rider, on account of being on Bazzite, an immutable distro. It was fine on Mint, but Mint had its own troubles with my NVidia card.
Visual Studio also feels really urderbaked IMO. I had my issues with navigation, UI and Vim mode. Debugger experience with Edit and Continue was pretty amazing though.
😂
That's what I mostly use too
I share this pain :(
- Arch Linux (btw.)
- hyprland
- helix
- kitty
- LibreWolf (for research)
I have the same setup as u except I use kde plasma bc hyprland is scary. Happy updating.
Hmmm..ill have to do some research as I don't know most of those
Arch is a linux distribution
Hyperland tiles the windows (so they fill up the screen instead of floating)
Helix is a text editor
Kitty is a terminal / console
LibreWolf is a Firefox version
Helix is the only part that really answers your question. https://helix-editor.com/
That's what I use too.
Linux, Plasma, VSCodium with the clang. cmake, and Qt extensions
- NixOS + Home Manager
- Niri
- Kitty
- Neovim, via Neovide
For work it's Fedora + Home Manager because the remote admin software doesn't support NixOS. Thankfully I've been able to define my dev environment almost fully in a Home Manager config that I can use at work and at home.
I use lots of Neovim plugins. Beyond the basic LSP and completion plugins, some of my indispensables are:
- Leap for in-buffer navigation & remote text copying
- Oil for file management
- Fugitive + Git Signs + gv.vim + diffview.nvim for git integration
- nvim-surround to add/change/remove delimiters
- vim-auto-save
- kitty-scrollback
Linux, emacs.
Not to start the infamous war but why Emacs and not vim/neovim?
I find vim way of editing text uncomfortable and how it lacks flexibility in general when compared to emacs (One can make vim from emacs not viceversa). Also I like that emacs is a gui application.
Ah makes sense, I've always preferred vim but never got good with the motions
- NixOS
- Hyprland (pending migration to Niri)
- Emacs (eglot)
I occasionally use Jetbrains products as well (e.g. maintaining Kotlin projects).
Kate, LSP, Linux.
Flexible, but Linux/macos predominantly. Jetbrains (CLion/RustRover). No specific plugins, JB IDEs are pretty good out of the box.
From jb I only have used pycharm but it was pretty good.
NixOS, fish, tmux, Helix, jj
Varies a bit with job, but by far the most in the last 15 years:
Linux (Debian), Emacs, tiling window manager (i3/sway/stumpwm), also gollum wiki + org-mode for writing docs. For small quick edits, I use vim.
I use Arch in a VM, or (preferred) Guix package manager for tools that require newer versions of software.
On the job, I write mostly C++/Python/Go/Rust, at home more Rust, Python, and the Lisps.
Work (frequently some kind of embedded) uses also e.g. Ubuntu, OpenSuSE Leap, Gnome, eclipse, and so on.
Arch + i3wm/sway + Tmux + Neovim
Ditto, pretty much.
A messy bedroom.
I run Manjaro, and use neovim for my development. I've got a slew of plugins for everything from language servers to database to things like integration with tmux and specialty motions.
I've tried many development environments, but so far I keep coming back to nvim.
I've been a fan for about 5 years at this point, and I use it for PHP+js+html at my day job and Rust for personal projects, but also any other language that comes up. Delightful to have one editor that can do basically everything and do it with consistent shortcuts, that I can even run on my phone with a folding keyboard.
Arch Linux (BTW) is my main/dev OS, but also Windows 10 VM for certain projects.
For simple scripting in any language: VSCodium
PyCharm, Android Studio for projects in specific languages.
For other full projects: VSCodium
As for testing/deploying projects, I have a QEMU dev VM that's connected to my IDEs using shared folders running basic Arch with fresh install of KDE Plasma.
Plugins mainly consist of QoL features, linting for certain languages in VSCodium, themes, etc.
Linux Mint. No IDE -- I just use xed (a fork of gedit) + gnome-terminal, both of which ship with the distro. Only plugin I use regularly for xed is "Code Comment" which lets you comment/uncomment blocks of code quickly.
Fedora Kinoite with VSCodium (Flatpak), both for work and my own stuff.
Also a few toolboxes with different compiler versions for some older projects.
I mostly do .NET and PHP stuff.
Doom Emacs on Arch with Plasma.
At work, windows with jet brains products. Then docker with Ubuntu server.
At home its popos with vim. Sometimes docker, sometimes not.
For work, a Mac and vscode. I don't love vscode but it's what everyone uses.
Well, some of them develop on windows with like notepad++ and it's kind of a nightmare. There's no ci/cd, linting, or testing, so whenever I check out someone else's branch it's full of red squiggles.
My personal is pop!_os Linux where I'm also using vscode because I'm too cheap to pay for pycharm.
Work: RustRover on MacOS Personal: RustRover on Bazzite
Mainly language support plugins: Python, .env, mermaid
Debian at home, Rocky Linux at work
VSCodium or Godot depending on what I'm working on.
Whatever language support via LSP is available for VSCodium, Prettier, I'll have to check the rest. Nothing that drastically changes the experience. Basically whatever does auto formatting, code completion(without using "AI"), and error highlighting.
Emacs clients in alacritty terminals on GNU Guix. I am used to vi-keybindings so I use evil-mode.
Linux/Sublime Text/Konsole
neovim, neovim, neovim
Linux
Distrobox container
Code OSS
-
clangd (always have to change compile commands path because $workspacefolder variable varies per machine even on the same project, it will just choose a subfolder sometimes)
-
nrfconnect suite (it has some extra checks for .dts files and a nice GUI)
-
embedded flash plugins/programs like jlink, Stmcubeprogrammer, etc..
Serial Studio
Logic 2 / Sigrok pulseview
Private: Arch, sway, nvim with too many to remembet plugins in foot
Work: Windows to Google Cloud Workstation, JetBrains
Linux + IntelliJ
I also use VsCode because I like its text editing better.
