Recently picked up that an "IDE" is a largely uncustomized, out-of-the-box experience, and that (Neovimmers) call the result of their customizations a "PDE", a "Personal Development Environment" instead.
Made me wonder:
Is the notion that IDE's are what they are, mostly unchangable, a common one?
🧏 People who code have a tendency to spend a lot of time in various IDEs (Integrated Development Environments). They can be as simple as a text editor or as complex as a full-blown development environment. In this post, I'll go through my two go-to IDE's, RStudio and VScode, and why I switch between them rather than sticking to a single one. ---
What's your #editor / #IDE of choice, and why is it so? Do you use that for all tasks and #programming languages, or do you switch between editors depending on what you're working on?
I mostly use #IntelliJ / #Goland for large projects, and #VSCode for simpler ones. But tbh, I find myself increasingly using VS Code even for projects where I'd previously would reach for IntelliJ. And their poor story around language server integrations makes them feel less relevant today than they used to be.
@anderseknert No. Visual Studio, for instance, is Windows only, although I guess that is really more #IDE than just editor.
I would call VS Code an IDE as well, but there are those that claim it doesn't have all the functionality of one.
And XCode is macOS only.
"Actually, the business case of the #Nighttrain doesn’t quite addup," explains #IDE alumnus Annabelle Out. That’s why Annabelle designed a carriage interior for both day and night trains as part of her graduation project for the #Engineering firm Royal HaskoningDHV.
I was trying out JetBrains Rider again...
→ is an IDE, so primarily for looking at text
→ no support for BGR subpixel rendering, RGB only
→ no support for bitmap fonts
→ no way to adjust the font or the size of inlay hints
How can an IDE have such shitty text rendering? I don't want my code to look blurry.
Note: Visual Studio isn't any better, but VS Code is.

🧑💻 Modern IDEs are magic. Why are so many coders still using Vim and Emacs? - Stack Overflow
“Primarily it’s about ubiquity,” says BSD runner Tim Chase. “I can sit at any Unix-like terminal (Linux, BSD, Solaris, whatever), type ‘vi’ (or ‘ed’) and have a powerful editor that works even if my terminal isn’t configured quite right (e.g. sending certain keys or key combos) and without needing to install anything.”
I have witnessed a book with all its code examples all written in a font WITH SERIF !!!
I clearly feel the sense, I mean the eternal condemnation that I will never open this book again
Or if I do it will be only so as to check that my a priori is good: that this is a bad book with bad advices for bad programmers who do not know how to choose their good code-programming font
Motherfuckers will spend hours of their life tweaking and fixing their vim config just to get the same functionality as a fresh VSCode install. Get a real job.
