Well-configured code editor / IDE, browser, and terminal are the main tools for developers. What combo do you use in your daily workflow?
To start off, I'm using VS Code, Google Chrome and Git Bash.

Overview
Code editor: Kakoune
Browser: Qutebrowser
Terminal: Kitty
Shell: Fish
Browser - Qutebrowser
Started using it recently and so far I am very satisfied with it.
It's chromium based browser with vi-inspired modal interface.
It feels much more solid than the modal binding plugins available for firefox, mainly, the bindings work everywhere, not just on the loaded web page.
It also comes with
open-editorcommand, which allows opening any input field for editting in your default text editor (currently using it to write this response).Code editor - Kakoune
Been stuck on Kakoune ever since I migrated away from vim and emacs(spacemacs).
I chose it for it's unique spin on modal bindings and it's natural approach to multi-cursor editting.
Also huge appeal to me, especially coming from emacs ecosystem, was the focus on unix philosophy of doing one thing well.
Windows management is trusted upon windows manager and has minimal friction when it comes to interacting with system applications.
Terminal - Kitty
Terminals are a messy technology, kitty is an alright terminal emulator.
I mainly switched to it so that I can try out fonts with ligatures.
I do not use it's windows and tabs features, just as plain terminal emulator.
Shell - Fish
Not really sure why I'm using fish, at this point it's just a habit.
I haven't really figured out what responsibility shell could do in my workflow, besides command invocation, completion candidate suggestions and command history.
I've been eyeing elvish shell, so might switch to that one instead.
I will check the Kakoune, about the terminal I have tested kitty and went to Konsole because I felt it was simpler and has ligatures too.
Neovim, Vivaldi, and
zsh(configured with oh my zsh) with tmux within the default "Terminal" emulator on Mac.PHPStorm/PyCharm + Chromium (and Firefox) + default Ubuntu terminal.
Most of the time I actually use the terminal within the IDE, as I can
Alt+F12to get to it easily, thenEscto get back to the code. So I can easily change -> test -> commit -> repeat without touching the mouse.Default Ubuntu terminal is
gnome-terminalfyi.Browser.... All of them. I try to mix things up on purpose as a web developer. I like to get a handle of the norms of different browsers and not go all in on, say, Chrome.
I will say that running several at once makes my computer fan go wild, so it's mostly one at a time.
I use VSCode and the default Mac terminal.
Android Studio (For Android Development)/NeoVim (For Web Development and blogging) + Brave/Firefox + Alacritty
I install IdeaVim plugin in Android Studio for Vim like text editing.
My NeoVim plugins:
In NeoVim and Android Studio i use Gruvbox Theme.
On my side:
KittyAlacritty, special thanks to Oh my zshCode editor: Glitch because well, Sometimes I use a Chromebook, Windows Laptop, or a Android Tablet and I need my IDE to work on all three
Browser: Brave Browser for personal stuff and Beaker browser for P2P developer projects
Terminal: Regular default Raspberry Pi OS (formerly known as Raspbian) terminal with the Termius SSH client because Termius works on all three devices I have mentioned above and uses their Cloud Sync.
A terminal emulator, with Vim and Git installed.
I use Firefox web browser for development mainly because of its straight forward scratch-pad and style-editor GUI. Easy to copy, cut, and paste codes.
