Personally I use PHPStorm, sublime text, vim, and vscode - all depending on what context I am working in.
For work, I mostly request licenses for JetBrains IDEs, in the past few years, I migrated between IDEA, RubyMine and most recently Goland, depending on the project language.
Whenever there isn’t a matching JetBrains IDE for the language I want to work in or when needing to do simple things like editing files using multi-line selection/multi-cursors, my go-to has nowadays been VSCode. In the past, I loved both Sublime and TextMate. Oh, and want to really try Onivim in the future, but I’m hoping to win the Devtalk’s giveaway for the license first
Finally, neovim/SpaceVim for the shell/SSH, although I wish I learned more tricks for it.
My favorite editors are Vscode, code server and Atom editor
I have tried VSCode with a vim plugin but nothing works like vim as well as (neo)vim!
Hey all, I’m just putting together a poll for the Erlang Forums… and just wondered if this looks ok to you?
Which code editors or IDE’s do you use?
- Visual Studio Code
- Vim (or a variant)
- Emacs (or a variant)
- Atom
- BBedit
- Brackets
- Buffer Editor
- Codespaces
- CoffeeCup
- DroidEdit Pro
- Espresso
- IDE - Geany
- IDE - JetBrains
- IDE - NetBeans
- IDE - Other
- Komodo Edit
- Nano
- Notepad++
- Nova
- Sublime Text
- Textastic
- TextMate / TM2
- XCode
- Other - please say in thread!
I’ve tried to include what seems to be the most popular and it will be multiple choice
Is there anything missing? Or does it look ok?
Magnetized needle and steady hands? Butterfly and magnifying glass? (xkcd: Real Programmers)
More seriously: nano, and some might say vi rather than vim so as to go all the way back.
I was thinking of ad Vi, but does anyone actually use it now
Good point re nano, since afaik, it is installed by default on many linux distros
I guess there’s XCode and NetBeans?
Thanks Mallory - added!
Thanks all… posted here: Which code editor or IDE do you use? - Chat / Discussions - Erlang Programming Language Forum - Erlang Forums
I’m using Webstorm, but I’d be glad to try onivim2
Hadn’t heard of WebStorm: The JavaScript and TypeScript IDE, by JetBrains - but yeah, you should give Onivim a go
is onivim still on development? didnt hear any news for a while.
Yeah, it stopped or at least stalled: Clarify project status · Issue #3811 · onivim/oni2 · GitHub
Not sure if there has been any development(s) after that.
But the license is now MIT, so there might still be hope docs: Convert source code to MIT license by bryphe · Pull Request #3827 · onivim/oni2 · GitHub
I use VS Code for everything, they have an extension for all programming languages I use.
Doh. *not → now
Yes, I agree with you 100% here. My very first text editor was Emacs which I continue to use today as my backup to VSC.
They didn’t even release a binary for M1 Macs, and if someone wanted to compile it themselves, it wouldn’t be easy because it uses an older version of OCaml. I hope they are more serious than they look.
I use Doom Emacs which is emacs with evil-mode (pretty great vim emulation) built-in. I still got to try those newer neovim distribution to compare, but I quite like how I can easily jump in the source code of any function I’m using in emacs and just patch them to my liking ^^
