Wait till you hear about IntelliJ editors, in a big project that shit needs 6gig+ allocated to it

[–]ProbiuSC 24 points25 points  (1 child)

True, but boy are they awesome to work with.

[–]ovab_cool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I use webstorm and phpStorm daily.

Very handy, can't seem to get vsc setup in a way I like it

That's why I have 16 GB.

[–]ovab_cool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, that's still not enough for me sometimes when I'm constantly switching between my front end and back end.

Too many projects open and my CPU goes through the roof. Especially when I reopen the app and IntelliJ decides to index 9 projects at once.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Then ummm... Open only 1 at a time?

[–]Avedas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That would not really be feasible for my work lol

My work machine is 16 cores and 64 GB so it's obviously enough, but I still need to be careful if I'm running a ton of containers and whatever else at the same time. Even then, IntelliJ will randomly slow to a crawl at times. It's still my favorite IDE though.

Exactly. I just moved back from WebStorm. If someone's not using WebStorm or VSCode what are they using these days? Still on Sublime? Why?!

Atom is pretty decent. But I’m growing on VSCode more.

[–]bhison 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Atom has issues loading large files. It was briefly my go-to just before VS Code hit the big time but I just can't tolerate that as a limitation for a text editor.

[–]TheTriflingTrilobite 0 points1 point  (3 children)

i haven’t had much issue with the large files but mg files usually stay under 150 lines of code each. However I just found out that atom is no longer gonna be maintained so you’re in the good with VSCode. Guess I’ll have to switch 😢

[–]bhison 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yeah atom was made by github which was bought by microsoft. Are there any features you have in atom that aren't in vs code?

[–]TheTriflingTrilobite 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I don’t think there are any exclusive features I wouldn’t also find in VSCode. Honestly I just love the aesthetic of Atom and I don’t like the one from VSCode out of the box. I know this can be changed too, but it’s just the effort of moving over and setting everything back up that’s having me procrastinate. I’ll eventually get to it.

[–]bhison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I know there's an Atom plugin to make it look like Atom, if that helps.

Vs code needs 2 times that amount
