Now I'm wondering who uses what development tools. I mostly use Qt Creator myself - I chose it because of its good integration with C++ and Qt projects, and I'm just used to it. On Linux I use Qt Creator, and on Windows I use Visual Studio.
I wonder what others use? VSCode, Vim, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDE, Emacs, Sublime or something more rare?- Why did you decide to use them specifically?
- What do you like or annoy you about it?
- How usable is it in real work?

I tried all other Neovim alternatives (Kakoune, Helix,...) but they were all pretty immature. At the end, I learned to use Emacs and has been a happy user since.I like Emacs because it is very extensible and IMHO it is easier to config than Neovim
Emacs has a very large plugin repository so code integration is not a problem. I have been more productive since the switch. I think it got me addicted to programming, not gonna lie... -

I never really got along with VSCode, opting for Atom instead. Microsoft bought GitHub, which owned Atom, and promptly discontinued it.
Nvim has such an active community (and no "owner") that I'm certain that this won't happen again. At the same time, the plugin system is so flexible that I'm also certain that I will never miss out on any shiny new features.
Over the years, my config has matured, and is mine. The thought of going back to an editor, any editor, less flexible in its configuration than nvim is just... an absolute "no".
It's a steep learning curve, but well worth it.

For debugging I sometimes fall back to vscode. -
I use Zed
Yeah the agentic ai feature is nice and all but I don’t use it much.
However the whole speed of it and the layout of the ui is very close to my heart eg.: native remote server connection or you can hide stuff away to be distraction free.
Tldr.: feels nice, looks niceschrieb am 8. Juni 2025, 17:42 zuletzt editiert vonInteresting, never heard of it before but looks promising, I should try it. I don't care much for AI features, but I'm not against it either, especially if I can use locally hosted models, and it seems Zed supports ollama natively, so that fits the bill.
Coming from vscode, one of the features I use a lot is devcontainers, does Zed support something similar?

Helix, it’s like vim but with sane defaults.
schrieb am 8. Juni 2025, 17:55 zuletzt editiert vonI love Helix, but it's like Neovim, where you spend 2 weeks relearning how to type instead of 2 months messing with configs and plugins

VS Code is a wildcard that I use more as a text editor than an IDE.

Mostly vscodium with a pinned c/++ plugin 'cos M$ eee'd it. It's a fairly decent IDE.
And vim. -
