      Having a bunch of plugins built-in means also supported in updates and play nice with each other

      I would argue it’s worse. You can’t choose the things that are actually beneficial to you and how you work.

        Depends on the resources required and how much benefit it brings to the average user.

              It’s only a prompt: “Would you like to install the recommended addons?” You hit ‘yes’ and move on, never thinking about it again until you switch projects for the first time. I don’t get what this fuss is about.

              Note that the community is very active for each project. All popular projects like Tailwind and Astro come with their recommended add-on and command-line tools early after their release. But my favorite is when a new project pops up that replaces the original tool and becomes the standard because it got it right, and it didn’t have to ask anyone for permission to do it.

      Security-wise, yeah? IIRC Microsoft is very nonchalant with checking that there’s nothing malicious in the plugins on their marketplace.

    Plugins on a universal open source IDE are a better system than specialised proprietary IDEs (that also share “core” code but it’s not open source).

    Fight me.

    Fair warning though: I know these

        Pyright is the open source language server behind pylance and it works just fine in my neovim setup (in case you hadn’t recognized the commands and the logo). There’s also basedpyright if you have beef with pyright.

        Protip: let someone else manage your neovim setup: just use lazyvim.org

          basedpyright includes some nice features that Microsoft has otherwise gated behind the closed source Pylance. There’s also (in development) ty from Astral that I’m pretty excited for (ruff and uv have made writing python so much better for me).

    Switched to Zed recently, after finding out it’s basically flawless on Linux now (it was pretty bad initially) and after about 20 minutes uninstalled vscodium for good.
    It’s a very solid editor and one less electron thing on my system.

      I like Zed as a concept. Rapid af, vim bindings built in, lean stuff.

      But I just can’t go back to vim after enjoying helix bindings. They’re too good.

      I’ve known Zed for almost a year now, but it still lacks a lot of what VS Code offers. Especially when it comes to customization.

      Most of their IDEs you can use for free for non-commercial purposes and even if you need to buy them; when you compare software development to any other profession our tools are incredibly cheap. You can get all the Jetbrains IDEs for less than 300€. Compare that to a HDL simulator or a 3D CAD application like Autodesk. These easily cost several thousand euros each year.

        You mean subscribe to them right? You can’t buy Jetbrains products to use in perpetuity. I pay for their all products pack. They have a 40% continuity discount after two years, which is nice. I would agree they aren’t terribly expensive for commercial software, but they are competing in a space full of free and/or open source alternatives, unlike many production-level commercial softwares.

        That being said, their AI integration features are awful across the board, whether it’s their own AI or copilot.

        And while I much prefer jetbrains stuff to something like vscode, it’s way more about UI uniformity for me. VS Code extensions outside the top 20 tend to slap themselves wherever they want, with html/css dialogues that don’t fit the UI, and there’s often like 6 versions of an extension that’s like “this one is deprecated, but also the other one is deprecated, but the new one is made by microsoft but it’s actually 3 extensions now.” Whereas generally jetbrains extensions fit within my action panel, toolbar items, and can move widgets to different sides of the UI so that version control stuff, code analysis/structure stuff, external integration/database stuff, and project trees all get their own dedicated part of the workspace

            That’s pretty awesome, I didn’t know they had that. Seems like the sort of thing that should be like an EU enforced license structure. If anything it would make Adobe pucker their buttholes considering their asinine and predatory pricing strategy.

        Autocad costs that much because Autodesk behaves anti-competitively and has locked firms into their proprietary tooling / file formats / training and the firms have no choice but to keep paying them.

        Their predatory behaviour towards the engineering industry is literally why I taught myself programming and switched to software development.

        They are a prime example of why you shouldn’t build your company around closed source proprietary software, but open source software that can be forked or self hosted in a worst case scenario.

          Dam. Finally someone else who did something similar. I also changed my focus into more GIS and programming oriented work because of AutoCAD being what it is. I like working on open source software because I don’t suddenly lose all my work because I ran out of license or left my job.

      Same. I use VSCode at work, because we need some of the features that are premium in Jetbrains products and the licenses are too expensive for my company.

        If your work can’t afford less than $20/seat/month for business-critical software, I’d start looking for a new job because your paychecks are about to dry up, anyway.

              Funny how such companies don’t care that employees would be more effective with better tools and those license prices would result in way over $20/month profit. 🤷‍♂️

    If you want everything bundled instead of à la carte, that sounds more like eclipse to me. But then, I don’t understand how anyone can program in Java.

    vscode is actually a pretty decent code editor for my needs. I use VSCodium which is basically the same thing except lacking support for a few proprietary extensions (most notably the Microsoft C/C++ extension, so I use clangd instead which for some reason was way easier to set up with copr repo on fedora than either on windows or with flathub on fedora…)

    Recently switched to a new contract, which resulted in me switching from IDEA Ultimate to vscode. This picture is terribly accurate.

    In intellij I usually do code reviews by checking out the code and comparing the branch to origin/main to step through the changes. Just a right click menu option to compare branches.

    I took for granted that this is just a thing IDEs should do, so I looked in vain for a while before googling it and finding out I need a plugin for that. (If I’m wrong please help me find the button, I still believe it must be in there somewhere. Surely the owners of GitHub can compare branches?)

      I don’t use VSCode, so I may be wrong, but I think it has version control integration out of the box (maybe just for git), an with it you can review merges and stuff

    No mention of KDevelop? ;__;

    I like it because it is the pretty much only FOSS graphical IDE where the edit-compile-debug cycle works. I’m been using it for last 10y for C/C++/Python, and it recently gained LSP support. (ported from Kate)

    If you’re working on a large project/product then sure, but VS Code is just so damn good, it’s so much fucking faster than IntelliJ, has so many more options and is typically just more intuitive to me. Whenever I can I typically use it.
