Visual Studio Code. It has great defaults out of the box, is highly customizable and extensible, has near universal support for every programming language, and runs reasonably fast on my machines.
Yeah VSCode is the GOAT. I reached a point where I basically only ever use any other IDE if I’m explicitly told to, or if I don’t have a desktop environment to work with. Or if I have to work with Java, because sadly I found the Java support on VSCode to be rather lacking.
Emacs
VS Code, but may switch to VSCodium or Neovim eventually.
Whichever Jetbrains IDE is appropriate. I fell in love with Rider and wound up paying for their all-inclusive license. I’ve since made heavy use of Webstorm, CLion, and Datagrip professionally and personally.
JetBrains for everything
Neovim or Jetbrains depending on the project and my mood.
GNU Emacs
IntelliJ IDEA
IntelliJ. With Vim-keybinding.
Also vscode. With vim-keybindings.
I want to like vscode, and the vim bindings make me feel at home. I just don’t like it though, I find it so slow for a text editor, and the intellisense seems to be very hit and miss as to whether it’s going to work.
Every few months I open up vscode and give it a try, then go back to vim.
You check out the neovim plugin too if you haven’t already.
Helix 🌚
Love helix
NeoVim. Endlessly customizable, quick to start, and can offer whatever niche feature you’d like. Did I say it was endlessly customizable?
Same here. I’ve used vim/neovim for decades now.
I hated configuring it then (in vimscript). I hate configuring it now (in lua).

What GUI or terminal emulator do you use to run Neovim?
I have a JetBrains All Product Pack license, so they are always my first choice. I tried VSCode and vim, but they require so much work to get to a useable state whereas a true IDE can be used right away. I want to code and not turn fiddling with my editor into a hobby. I do use VSCode and vim, but only for editing text. And I use vim key bindings everywhere.
+1 for jetbrains, vscode feels basic compared to it
Can confirm. Your do get stuff done with that suite.
I use mainly webstorm, rider and intellij
I just use a stack of cards and a knitting needle.
Neovim. Nothing interesting, but it gets the job done way better than anything else I tried. I had my own config until a week ago, when I switched to nvchad because of my unwillingness to port my config to lazy.nvim plugin manager.
It’s also perfect if you spend time on any remote machines. The default configuration isn’t awesome, but it does “get the job done”.
Visual Studio and VS Code.
