I recently switched from Atom to VSCodium (Visual Studio Code) and I'm surprised how functional this MS product is. Looks like Atom could be merged into VS products or discontinued since MS bought GitHub. Since there's plenty of coders here, what are you using?
Of this list I've used emacs, eclipse and pycharm. In that order so currently using pycharm. Atom looks fun but a bit OTT for me. GAT
Atom is nice but has multiple issues - the startup is very slow and during usage there's so many slowdowns, it hogs the resources at odd times and the settings migration is a bit of a pain. PyCharm really didn't appeal to me, I was able to ruin the app through settings with a few clicks.
I’m surprised you didn’t include 2nd most popular IDE, Visual Studio. I use the free version. VSCode is most popular and even used at Google. I also use it occasionally.
I also use VS for real-time trading via IB's APIs. LOL ... I clicked Visual Studio Code in the poll before I caught the difference. Started writing trade modeling systems in the 90's using VB6 ... back when that was the thing . As time went on I continued to use VB6 in the form of VBA, which was a nearly effortless transition for my code set ... still use it today for historical data handling and analytics. I looked at VB.net, C#, later Python, and others ... but never found compelling benefits for the time needed to migrate. The system continues to use the VB6/VBA proprietary datastore, and has always integrated well with the dashboard, UI, & charting capabilities in Excel.
Besides dabbling with some python in notepad++ and pycharm my experience is minimal. Started the CS50 course and the beginning is all C programming. Could use their IDE which is I believe cloud9 based. Wanted to try and get a editor and compiler setup natively. Started off just using the built in terminal to compile then found out I could setup a builder and debugger for C. Was pretty simple with the documentation. Just saw the other day I can start my windows terminal, get to my project folder and a simple “code .” will launch vscode on they project. Everything seems well integrated. For hell of it I installed WSL and Ubuntu from the Microsoft store. It seamlessly integrated the Linux terminal and vscode together. No setup required. Lots of extensions I could see to very helpful. Just downloaded one to view csv in the editor to help with some Dubugging. Did try Visual Studio Community but it was pretty heavy for my medium spec laptop and the projects I’m doing.
Here are some stats: "A popular choice for DevOps and SREs is Vim, and data scientists are more likely to work in IPython/Jupyter, PyCharm, and RStudio."
if i'm in a shell emacs with a lot of customization. So much so that I don't know default emacs keys. for C# visual studio. java and python intellij variants. all else vscode which is great for less popular languages
