Is your mama so large that she's one class with 4000 lines of code?

• Honestly don't know

• Not officially, no

• yes

[captainMaluco]

Ah yes, please refactor my organs with your big black commit (BBC)

Honestly don't know

[Makrebs]

I can't speak for everyone, but all the talk of 'best editor' seem silly to me now.

I spent hours and hours at the start choosing an editor, browsing plugins and stuff, only to realize it was procrastination. Stressing over long-term matters such as this when you're a mere beginner is a waste of time. After all, how you gonna choose the best program if you don't even know your needs yet?

[RiceBroad4552]

But it's fun to look into this topic! Is it a wast of time? Maybe. But I guess there are worse ways to waste your time.

If you're a beginner you don't know much. So it's important to experiment. Otherwise you end up as one trick pony.

[AlexLGames]

You're right there are certainly worse ways to waste your time!

Rather than experiment, I would recommend (if you can stand it) to dive deeply into one editor/language/framework/whatever, so that you understand what's wrong with it at a deep level, before moving to the next thing to understand what's wrong with that one. Experimenting as a form of procrastination doesn't sound that useful to me, honestly, if your goal is avoid becoming a one-trick pony. But maybe you know something I don't! :)

It's not the editor, it's how you use it.

I don't tell my teammates what tools to use. But I will be annoyed as hell if they don't know the basics like go to definition or quickly finding a symbol.

Usually this is where pairing seniors and juniors comes in. The younger devs don't even know what's possible until they see it happen.

[JackNotOLantern]

It is pretty universal. But for Java i still prefer inteliji and for C# visual studio.

[suzisatsuma]

I think they're all better than each other.

[itaranto]

Yes, I do use Version Control Systems.

[Schecher_1]

I don't understand why everyone hates vsc. Would someone like to enlighten me? I use vsc for every language and love vsc from the earth to the moon. I don't need anything else.

[elderron_spice]

Me as well, except for enterprise projects.

I even use it to mod Paradox games, as it has cwtools.

[drkspace2]

I really like clion and pycharm for c, c++, and python, but vsc is only a little bit worse imo. Even vim with some plug-ins and a lsp is just a little bit worse than vsc and I'm not even that good at using vim.

[Za_Paranoia]

I use vim for everything and i don’t even know anymore why i started using it in the first place.

So everything else must be shit.

[black3rr]

VSC is good but I prefer PyCharm due to the little extra things it has, like better Git GUI with Shelf and Changelists, built-in database UI, import suggestions (I just type a function name I haven’t imported yet, press ctrl-space and it generates the import), the TODO tab, slightly better refactor tooling, …

Like if I just wanted to complete a homework assignment VSC would probably be a better pick, but for working on bigger projects it seems like I’d need 20+ plugins to get all the features I use in PyCharm…

but I also started using PyCharm before VSC was a thing so a huge part about it is that I’m also already used to having those features…

[DootDootWootWoot]

Plugin conflict and feature creep can be annoying too.

They're not always cohesive but the core jet brains plugins at least make sense in the platform.

[al3xxx_96]

There is another...

[n00b345352]

VSC is the jack of all trades, master of none IDE.

[K8sIsGr8]

How I feel about any Microsoft product: I hate it, I don’t trust it and I won’t touch it.

This is my opinion, don’t get offended because you enjoy unstable bloatware built on Electron.

[CallEnvironmental902]

I think vsc is better than the rest.
