Software you use for coding/programming


Question

Hello there, Neowins!

 

Would you be so kind to suggest the most comfortable editors/plugins you use for programming/coding?

Heard of people using Dreamweaver, but that seems too difficult for me. Idk.

Anyway, I've been using Notepad++ for a while and I'm pretty ok with it, but maybe I'm just missin out on something better?

Sorry if my question seems stupid to you, but I'm just a beginner, so please bear with me :rolleyes:

 

Many thanks!:)

IntelliJ & JetBrains friends

Xcode

Android Studio

Vim as the general purpose editor

Occasional VS Studio

A whole lot of Terminal

 

Always, always Vim modal editing. In my IDEs, and in my shell too.

That's very close to my own. As a rule, VIM for most stuff like C/C++, desktop Java, Python, etc. Android Studio for Mobile/Android obviously (though I do on occasion eschew the IDE and go VIM / terminal Gradle). 

 

Windows development, such as Cygwin/Mingw and C# is relegated to a guest VM running on my Linux host. I rarely touch it though because Windows has become a legacy ecosystem as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I've also almost given up on Windows at this point (I do keep a VM around). I've told my clients that I'm not interested in .NET work anymore. Which means that everything that I build these days run on unix-like systems:

  • Linux servers
  • Android
  • iOS and OS X

We've reached the point where all the interesting server-side tech is coming to Linux first. Also with tooling for OS X and Linux first, because that's what the guys who are building that stuff are using. Windows is still big in the enterprise, but that whole space moves slowly. It's just not that interesting to me.

Visual Studio for C# and Python on Windows, RubyMine on WIndows via SSH to a Unix host for the occasional Rails work, pretty much stopped using my old Unix desktops anymore due to the remote interpreter support in the JetBrains products.

"comfortable"

 

"difficult"

 

Listing things apprpriate for various activities and tasks is possible.

 

Figuring out what is "comfortable" and not "difficult" is a subjective criteria that would require a lot more background detail.

 

Otherwise all people can do is list whatever fits their own personal subjective criteria, which seems to be what happenned here.

    • Windows 10 EOL is coming, so how many is “forced”? (to be prepared and not wait until the last moment in October?)
    • I guess more Windows users are switching on their desktops/laptops than people buying new Steam Decks. I wouldn't be surprised. Deck doesn't have the mainstream appeal of other handhelds, usually people who would want one already have one. Glad to see Linux go up!
    • Any news about Windows and Microsoft always brings up crazy people saying; - Windows 11 is terrible, it destroys my hardware, it had sex with my wife, it told the FBI that I visit shemale sites, it collects my data where I get illegal anime. Never use Windows 11, go for Linux and it will never have sex with your wife.
    • QOwnNotes 25.6.0 by Razvan Serea QOwnNotes is a open source (GPL) plain-text file notepad with markdown support and todo list manager for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows, that (optionally) works together with the notes application of ownCloud (or Nextcloud).

The notes are stored as plain text files and you can sync them with your ownCloud sync client. Of course other software, like Dropbox, Syncthing, Seafile or BitTorrent Sync can be used too. Features: the notes folder can be freely chosen (multiple note folders can be used) sub-string searching of notes is possible and search results are highlighted in the notes application can be operated with customizable keyboard shortcuts external changes of note files are watched (notes or note list are reloaded) older versions of your notes can be restored from your ownCloud server trashed notes can be restored from your ownCloud server differences between current note and externally changed note are showed in a dialog markdown highlighting of notes and a markdown preview mode notes are getting their name from the first line of the note text (just like in the ownCloud notes web-application) and the note text files are automatically renamed, if the the first line changes compatible with the notes web-application of ownCloud and mobile ownCloud notes applications compatible with ownCloud's selective sync feature by supporting an unlimited amount of note folders with the ability to choose the respective folder on your server manage your ownCloud todo lists (ownCloud tasks or Tasks Plus / Calendar Plus) or use an other CalDAV server to sync your tasks to encryption of notes (AES-256 is built in or you can use custom encryption methods like Keybase.io (encryption-keybase.qml) or PGP (encryption-pgp.qml)) dark mode theme support theming support for the markdown syntax highlighting all panels can be placed wherever you want, they can even float or stack (fully dockable) support for freedesktop theme icons, you can use QOwnNotes with your native desktop icons and with your favorite dark desktop theme support for hierarchical note tagging and note subfolders support for sharing notes on your ownCloud server portable mode for carrying QOwnNotes around on USB sticks Evernote import QOwnNotes is available in many different languages like English, German, French, Polish, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese, Hungarian, Dutch and Spanish Changes in QOwnNotes 25.6.0: QOwnNotes now builds with with Botan 3, when built with the system Botan library (cmake build parameter -DBUILD_WITH_SYSTEM_BOTAN=ON), because of the end of life of Botan 2 (for #2786) Keep in mind that Botan 3 needs C++20, which causes issues on Qt5 QMake and Qt5 will still use the internal Botan 2 amalgamation Creating an amalgamation Botan 3 did work, but caused major issues with various build processes The filename in checksum files of the Qt6 AppImages in the releases on GitHub was fixed (for #3286) Download: QOwnNotes 25.6.0 | 37.3 MB (Open Source) Download: QOwnNotes for Other Operating Systems View: QOwnNotes Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • There are lots of older PC's that are now going to be unsupported on W10, but for modern systems, you should be able to update to W11. Even so, there are ways to bypass the official hardware requirements as well as the MSA (which imo is the bigger annoyance). My only gripe with W11 is all the telemetry collection / bloatware - yes, it is a problem compared to W10 and Linux.
