Just a quick poll here to anyone who does a lot of programming, which IDE do you use? Do you prefer almost paper coding with little or no extensions or features or a full blown solution such as Eclipse?

So far I've been picking up and enjoying vim quite a lot with the proper plugins, but I only use it when I work from home during the week to keep up to date on it.

At the office I strictly use PHPStorm or any of Jetbrain's IDE's. I don't feel as productive yet with vim.

@jirehstudios interesting, do you find any benefits of vim? (The learning curve seems steep)

@BoyBiscuit I wanted to learn a CLI editor and vim seemed simpler than emacs. Now I can code through a shell in "style" lol.

It only gets easier to learn the more you use it, and I feel that my workflow is really smooth without using the mouse. It also uses very little RAM. But I wouldn't replace my IDE with vim just yet.

@jirehstudios I use vim for Git commits because I really like the default syntax and intelligent highlighting. I may make more of an effort to learn it, thanks!

@BoyBiscuit Checkout vimawesome.com for plugins. I use Vundle as a plugin manager for vim.

Visual studio all the way. Has everything i need, and extensions for the stuff that's not included.

Atom or Sublime where possible. VS when I'm forced to deal with. NET trash.

When i work with php i use PHPstorm, when Working in JS i use visual studio code and when im doing quick changes to a project that spans many languages(html, css, php and js) i use atom.

Visual Studio when I do C#, everything else in Sublime. Thinking of trying Atom.

Atom is my daily driver (I'm a college student) and I use Visual Studio at my internship (we do EVERYTHING in .Net).

VS for C#, IntelliJ for Java, and VS Code for the rest. I like me a good ide.

@jirehstudios I will thanks for the advice!

@LucaScorpion This is identical to the way I currently work, apart from IntelliJ. I use eclipse. Do you have any experience with Eclipse to summarise the advantages of IntelliJ?

@BoyBiscuit Haven't worked with it in a while, but the main reason I switched was because I find that Eclipse has some weird quirks/bugs. (Just search devrant for eclipse ;P)

I used to be all up on PhpStorm, been using it for about 5 years now. However, I found that it had too much for what I really needed and I started using Sublime Text at work and has changed the way I prefer to code. Mind you I do have a few plugins such a linters and a custom theme.

In regards to CLI editors, vim is my choice too. However for git commits I use nano cause of how easy it is to just write and Ctrl+X to save and quit.

I wanted to use eclipse. But then it turns out, my machine can't run windows, cos I have serious issues day-by-day with that (my laptop is old and weak tbh). So i've started to use linux. Ubuntu. It still have some issues, but have some issues, but eclipse don't run "smoothly" on linux. So, i've used notepad. For about 20mins :D Then tried out geany. Loved it. But a few months ago, I've installed a pure debian. With some help I've made some good settings, bought an ssd and start to learn emacs. Now I use geany and emacs. I fell love with emas, cos it is really productive. But need to learn a lot yet :D so I'm almost a member the curch of emacs (Richard Stallman is our saint :D) and use geany, if I feel I have to change to it. Btw I just learning yet, I'm not a real developer.

Visual Studio!

Vim. Without any plugins, only syntax highlighting.

Visual studio for C#. PhpStorm for PHP

Sublime is a nice in-between imo

I've been using Visual Studio Code and I can't help feeling guilty because I like it more than Atom Ö
