Whichever Jetbrains IDE is appropriate. I fell in love with Rider and wound up paying for their all-inclusive license. I've since made heavy use of Webstorm, CLion, and Datagrip professionally and personally.
Yeah VSCode is the GOAT. I reached a point where I basically only ever use any other IDE if I'm explicitly told to, or if I don't have a desktop environment to work with. Or if I have to work with Java, because sadly I found the Java support on VSCode to be rather lacking.
When I first started programming a few years ago, I used Python's default IDLE. After a few months of that I switched to Atom (RIP), and shortly after moved to VS Code. I've stuck with VS Code since.
JetBrains IDE all the way. Mostly Intellij Idea, WebStorm, CLion (for Rust) and PhpStorm. Once in a while Visual Studio Code for a quick text file edit.
I have a JetBrains All Product Pack license, so they are always my first choice. I tried VSCode and vim, but they require so much work to get to a useable state whereas a true IDE can be used right away. I want to code and not turn fiddling with my editor into a hobby. I do use VSCode and vim, but only for editing text. And I use vim key bindings everywhere.
I want to like vscode, and the vim bindings make me feel at home. I just don't like it though, I find it so slow for a text editor, and the intellisense seems to be very hit and miss as to whether it's going to work.
Every few months I open up vscode and give it a try, then go back to vim.
Spacemacs here. Been using it so long (and without major problems) that I'm afraid to start experimenting with other distros, or writing my own config.
I was using spacemacs before trying doom, from what I can tell, it's an upgrade. Doom config loads faster than spacemacs on my computers. Loving both project tho.
Neovim. Nothing interesting, but it gets the job done way better than anything else I tried. I had my own config until a week ago, when I switched to nvchad because of my unwillingness to port my config to lazy.nvim plugin manager.
You're me! Though I'm closely following the progress of the R and Jupyter extensions for vscode. They're not an RStudio replacement yet, but I think soon R will be comparable to python in vscode, and I'd love to consolidate.
For Python, VS Code and Jupyter Lab. I used Sublime Text 3 previously but have found VS Code to be easier to set up and better supported over time. I do miss how fast and lightweight Sublime is this compared to VS Code though so I still use ST4 as a general text editor.
For Excel VBA (ugh), pretty much have to use the built in one as there doesn’t seem to be any alternative.
It keeps changing with the job. I've used Eclipse a whole bunch of times for Java projects, IntelliJ a couple of times. Pycharm for Python. Vim for Bash and a bunch of other stuff. QT Creator for some C++ with the QT framework. Now it's mostly VSCode.
VSCode is the best code editor around, the plugin ecosystem is phenomenal, copilot specifically has been the biggest boost to my output in 15 years of development.
Unfortunately it doesn't do everything, I got stuck with some really old legacy software and have to hop into the vb6 ide, code::blocks, and very rarely visual studio.
These days I write Lisp code using the Medley Interlisp development environment. It's a vintage but amazingly capable environment that's being revived and modernized.
I started with Notepad++ and some CSS-specific editor (I can’t figure out the name anymore!), then switched to Brackets (RIP), Atom (RIP) and eventually landed at VS Code. I want to use VSCodium, but some of my favorite extensions are missing and their maintainers refuse to add them to the open VSCodium extension registry…
I would also like to try more “native” editors like Nova, but so far I always ran into blockers with it.
Oh, and for working on Markdown files I use the great Typora!
Bruh, you can literally just copy the '%USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions' folder to the respective VSCodium folder and those extensions will appear on VSCodium as well.
Even with VS Code and the proprietary VS Code marketplace, I’ve run into compatibility issues with extensions when upgrading VS Code. So, I’m not too keen to start managing extension files manually. And please don’t call my "bruh".
VSCode, then IntelliJ, then Neovim (NvChad + awful theme of my own + Goneovim as gui frontend), and now at Emacs (Doom + port of awful theme of my own from Neovim + very heavy customization).
Pretty happy with Emacs, also Org mode is astounding.
