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.

    • ICYMI: 4TB Corsair MP700 PRO SE SSD is still selling at its lowest price by Fiza Ali Amazon US and Newegg are still offering the 4TB Corsair MP700 PRO SE solid-state drive at its new lowest price. The MP700 PRO SE is an M.2 2280 SSD that employs a PCIe 5.0 ×4 interface with NVMe 2.0, delivering sequential read speeds of up to 14,000MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 12,000MB/s. It uses high-density 3D TLC NAND and carries a Total Bytes Written (TBW) rating of 3000. Furthermore, the drive can withstand vibration from 20Hz to 80Hz at 1.52mm and 80Hz to 2000Hz at 20G, as well as shocks up to 1500G. The drive incorporates AES 256-bit encryption and supports Microsoft DirectStorage, allowing compatible games to load assets directly to the GPU for reduced load times. Moreover, it operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, and can be stored between –40°C and +85°C at up to 93% relative humidity (40 °C). A heatsink is not included, so users must provide their own or rely on a motherboard’s integrated SSD cooling solution to maintain optimal thermals.

    • "requiring individual licences from all rights-holders would impose an unmanageable administrative burden and could deter AI investment in the UK." Ah so plebs (humans) will forever be required to secure license, but AI should get a broad pass because it's too complicated. Not so "intelligent" after all? Plus, every opt out I have signed regarding Meta using my data was never presented to me in a clear way, I had to discover it here on neowin or some other news site with a link to do it. So what the government is saying is that they prefer to offer an opt out just to cover their asses, but good luck us plebs finding such a thing!
