What IDE's do yall use?

If you use yours on light mode your opinion doesn't matter.

Mostly VSC, for game modding VS, and QT for some of my C++ projects

[andreizabest]

VSC for JS,HTML,CSS and Python, VS for the 3 C's (C++,C,C#) and JetBrains Intellij IDEA for Java

Every programs I use are in light mode and I do not care if my opinions matter or not.

I should preface this by saying in many ways I feel like I shouldn't be using the IDEs that I use lol, but I haven't really found any suitable or compelling alternatives yet.

For C++, which is most of what I write, I use Qt Creator. I like it's C++ specific features, like its code completion, built-in CMake/Ninja integration, and the ability to autogenerate classes, functions, etc. It can be a little buggy at times though, and it seems like every update either slows something down or introduces a new bug/crash (though usually only temporarily, to be fair).

For everything else I use Sublime Text, whether it's web development, writing simple scripts, or just editing text files. I like how fast and light it is, seems like every other modern code editor is written in Electron and takes ages to open, which is annoying when I may just want to open a text file. As a code editor, I think Sublime's usability is generally superior to Qt Creator, however it doesn't really fulfill the purpose of an IDE, at least not without a lot of extensions. To get building/running working it seems I have to set up the steps manually because there's no built-in CMake integration. There are some Clang-based extensions that add some nice things like code completion, but I haven't found a great extension for auto-generating classes/functions. If I did, I might consider switching to Sublime for everything.

That being said, I'm not a huge fan of how Sublime isn't FOSS. I know that FOSS is a lot harder to monetize (and I do believe developers should get paid for their work), but I feel a lot more comfortable using software that isn't closed source when I can (especially on Linux, I don't like how you have to add a whole additional package manager repository just for Sublime because only they can distribute their proprietary binaries). There was briefly an open source clone of Sublime being written called Lime, but it's so dead it's official website is now a scam page packed with ads.

So that's what I use now, but I'm very much open to finding alternatives lol

I'd tend to agree here but honestly Visual Studio Code is like, the one electron app I consider "done properly" in how well it generally performs and integrates with the system. Performance can be hit or miss but overall it runs fine for me until I open up 20 megabyte JSON documents.

just use ms notepad smh guys

For some things that are open source that are used more my "normies" making just the binary paid can make sense and if you want it for free you just have to build it yourself. but that doesnt really work for deveopment tools as most develeopers are comfortable compiling crap.

I mostly use neovim for most just text crap but sublime text. is fine whenever i have to do something like that under windows.

I think the biggest crime here is the fact your using emacs on windows 11.

It is actually Windows Server Insider Preview but I get it

well then the biggest crime is your using a laptop over wifi as a "server" running emacs for some god for saken reason.

I use Windows Server basically as a workstation OS since there are no Microsoft Store craps preinstalled and I can remove (most of) Microsoft Defender without using any third party tools and Emacs since I am going to switch to FreeBSD once I graduate from college and so do not have to deal with proprietary craps I have to use anymore

Windows Server Insider Preview has actual free activation keys on Microsoft website so I basically pay nothing to use their OS legally
