What editor, browser and terminal do you use?

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.

Visual Studio, Google Chrome, the Windows command prompt (though sometimes I'll use Powershell instead). I use VS Code but largely as a Notepad replacement (I never liked Notepad from Day 1).

Onivim2, FireFox, and iTerm2 with either zsh & ohmyzsh, fish and ohmyfish, or ion (ion is very fast shell!) with my own configuration. I sometimes use Hype for a change, but end up going back to iTerm2.

  • WebStorm: good IDE, manages to adequately autocomplete / jump to with low input (sort of figures out itself) + very usable editor + very usable search
  • Firefox: killer features = tree-style tabs, privacy, protecting the web
  • iTerm: can split tabs, auto-restore them on relaunch, can rename and color tabs from script = useful to find one's stuff at a glance

All very good, and yes I tried the competition

VS Code / Intellij Idea based upon what kind of project I am working on. I use Intellij mainly for large java related projects which require maven or gradle.

Google Chrome as the browser, I did try Firefox and Edge for a while but shifting from laptop to phone or vice-versa was not as smooth as it is with chrome.

For terminals, I use powershell inside conemu. I also have to access servers via ssh, so conemu makes it easy for me to open and manage multiple terminals. I have also customized my powershell prompt using oh-my-posh
