People of DEV! What is your favorite IDE for coding and why? What are the features you like most?
P.s. I am trying to compare ide's and open to trying new ones!

PyCharm, WebStorm and PHPStorm. I like the JetBrains products and, of course, the familiarity across each IDE helps. I sometimes open VSCode for things non Python or PHP, but I can't "get around" it as fast as I can in the others. I probably need to spend more time with it - I'm sure if I could get the hang of some the keyboard shortcuts, I'd really enjoy it.
I use vscode because I mostly work with flutter, and the alternative is android studio which runs really slowly mostly when crome is on. However I still like vscode and might pick it over android studio if it ran perfectly
Gotta be Atom. I'm a sucker for open-source, for one thing, but I also appreciate Atom's vast customization and overall simplicity when first installed. Git/GitHub integration ships by default, which works flawlessly.
I also liked the githu integration on atom very neat!
I use Visual Studio 2019 for game development in Unity. It is slow to load, but I then keep it open all day. The code completion is irreplaceable and the instant testing is a plus! Grab VS community and give it a try!
I sure will thanks!
I am currently working on a VR game - picopplanetdev.itch.io/vr-farm-game - and am using Unity and VS 2019 for it!
Phpstorm for php and web(js ,css ,html ,angular ,react ,...)
Perfect intelisense (way better that vs) for codes specially js and html and css...
Angular and react and ... Integration..
VCS and FTP and CMD integration and lot more free plugins ti add more functionality ... Any think you need they have a plugin for that ...
VS 2019 for c# and asp.net
Sounds cool I'll try those out!
Viscose is definitely my favourite. Nano would be a second favorite.
VSCode all the way, it's such a good editor/IDE and can do pretty much everything. I mostly use it for nodejs and rust but I've seen people using it for cs, cpp, c, python, and more
PHP storm. It also covers everything in Webstorm.
I just downloaded it cant wait to check it out!
I use nano editor every project I have. I love the feeling of full control it gives.
I use Intellij for more complex and structured projects in PHP, python, Android, Java, etc. That I know will grow over time because it helps me to keep things organized and manage things like version control, package managers, libraries and dependencies, and the likes, and because it's dynamic code completion is unmatched. I love vscode and I use it for quick and dirty projects where I don't have a large number of files and I just want to test things out or learn new stuff. I'm sure I could get most of the features I use in Intellij on code as well with plugins, I'm just too used to idea, and not motivated enough to do the switch honestly. Idea is definitely a behemoth though, I would not use it to open a single file in a folder to edit... It's like killing a mosquito with a shotgun lol...
