What editor or IDE do you use and why?
-
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?
Vim because it's ubiquitous, starts up instantly, works when ssh'd into a server, and doesn't get in my way with lots of busy interface. Also modal editors are the only way to go, IMHO.

Spacemacs. I learned some keybinds for vim but don’t want to have to configure everything to the tee and add everything myself. Spacemacs seems to hit the spot for most stuff.
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 niceInteresting, 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?

VSCode because I'm too lazy to learn Vim and I'm not enough of a masochist to configure emacs.

Helix, it’s like vim but with sane defaults.
I 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

Eclipse for the behemoth that runs most of the company and the collection of microservices; IntelliJ or Webstorm for front-end depending on the project; QT Creator for personal Python projects on Linux, Visual Studio for personal .NET projects on Windows. VS Code is a wildcard that I use more as a text editor than an IDE.

Emacs since it’sa trojan horse for an operating system on an operating system.

Haha right? My first reaction exactly. Written in rust so that’s that. Oh forgot yo mention the collab features almost equally amazing

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

KEIL, because I develop embedded systems.
