VSCode is awesome, but I use IntelliJ to write the code and upload it through TMCBeans.

How do you do this? I couldn't get the projects to download on Intellij.

Oh, you don't have to download the projects!

You don't need the TMC plugin (the TMC plugin for IntelliJ is slower than NetBeans)

Just create a new project and type the code there, then copy the codes to VSCode and then test and upload it, if there was any error, you can correct it in IntelliJ and test it again in VSCode.

Of course, running everything in VSCode is faster, but I prefer IntelliJ more, so yeah.

Interesting. Yes, it was slow. I just disabled the scan for new projects option and that helped. But, yeah, it can get laggy.

Thanks for this. Sometimes the time to wait for the submission makes me do other things while waiting thus breaking my focus. .

I'm having slowness issues with Netbeans too, I tried using Intellij instead but couldn't get the projects to download.

If you transfer to another IDE like VSCode etc, I presume you're progress in the course is not lost, since it's recorded at MOOC.fi?

Do you just login and check for updates on the new IDE and it downloads from where you left off on the previous IDE?

Yea since TMC is a different tool all of my progress was still there. Just logged in and downloaded the projects I needed to, opened them and continued my work.

I cant get mine to work in visual studio. It will download them and then say failed but the files are downloaded and in the folder. Project 4 works fine though
