VSCode is the best code editor around, the plugin ecosystem is phenomenal, copilot specifically has been the biggest boost to my output in 15 years of development.
Unfortunately it doesn’t do everything, I got stuck with some really old legacy software and have to hop into the vb6 ide, code::blocks, and very rarely visual studio.
Multi-cursor wizardry is absolutely life changing
NeoVim. Endlessly customizable, quick to start, and can offer whatever niche feature you’d like. Did I say it was endlessly customizable?
What GUI or terminal emulator do you use to run Neovim?
Not OP, but I’ve been using Kitty for ages and love it. A GPU term is a must IMO.

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, no love for CodeLite when working on smaller projects?
Vi. Not even Vim. Just whatever vi is preinstalled on Arch Linux.
IDE’s and I… don’t get along.
Vim for light work, emacs when I need more ide features. I program mostly in fortran, c , c++, and bash on remote servers.
VSCode usually, Xcode when working with Apple platforms specifically

Man of culture right here
When I first started programming a few years ago, I used Python’s default IDLE. After a few months of that I switched to Atom (RIP), and shortly after moved to VS Code. I’ve stuck with VS Code since.
I missed Atom a lot when it was discontinued. Recently found Pulsar which is a community continuation of Atom, and it seems to be quite active.
Yay, Im happy there is at least one pulsar mention! We are thinking of setting up a Lemmy community but want to make sure there is enough interest.
If you setup a community for pulsar, you have a guaranteed subscriber in me. And if you’re one of the devs I can’t thank you enough for your work.
Dev is probably a strong word for me but I’m definitely on the Pulsar team lol. I mainly do the website stuff and blog/release posts/announcements. Good to hear we have a supporter for it here :)
I strongly recommemd VSCodeium, the FOSS-ified version
Will give this a look. See how hard it is to install and use when using a screen reader. Really like that there’s no telemetry

Recently started using neovim with LazyVim and I’m enjoying it.
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.
Mainly Visual Studio. Lots of .NET stuff
These days I write Lisp code using the Medley Interlisp development environment. It’s a vintage but amazingly capable environment that’s being revived and modernized.
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.
Visual Studio for work (c#), Pycharm when I need to do Python.
Visual Studio professional. It’s so slow though. Would love to use anything else, but am locked down due to work.
