How makers stay productive

VS code is better option because of a lot flexibility it offers for different frameworks, languages. Plus there are themes and extensions that will make your coding journey amazing!

For everything frontend I use VS Code and when I code PHP I use PhpStorm.

If you want to be old school use VIM (I love it but I don’t use it as my main editor at the moment)

For bigger projects I love Xcodd but that don’t have support for R. I think the best alternatives for big projects is Visual Studio.

For small project I use VSCode because it is fast, or Atom

My favorite editor is VS Code. It works for every programming language I use on the daily: Python, JS, and some C++ here and there.

I've been trying out Panic's new editor, Nova, but it isn't quite there yet for my use.

Depends on what you need. If you need an editor then VS Code with R plugin should be great. If you need an IDE, I feel IntelliJ with R plugin will be better. For me the debugger matters a lot.

So for Python I prefer PyCharm. I use VS Code for JavaScript, Ansible, Docker or other system configuration. For JavaScript (React) I start Chromium from command line with a separate user folder and with debugger port open, which I use with VS Code.

PyCharm debugging for Python is an integrated experience. I usually also run my Python commands through PyCharm so that I can click through the files/lines and open straight in the IDE. See this comment as a reference.

Notes:

• Command I use to start separate Chromium - chromium --app=<local-app-domain> --user-data-dir=<directory-path-for-this-browser> --remote-debugging-port=9222

For the web I prefer VSCode. Android/Java - Android Studio Xcode for iOS (especially when I build react-native apps)

Having many VSCode editors slows my system down and consumes more memory and drains my battery a lot quicker.

Xcode + VSCode.

I just switched from Atom to VSCode and it was really easy. I bought the Monokai Pro theme, and I have a bunch of extensions for Rails, Tailwind CSS and things like Dash (to open it with ctrl+h on any word) or CodeSnap.

I tend to alternate between VS Code and Sublime. Sublime is light years faster for moments where just need to get things done quickly.

I mostly use TypeScript for both backend and frontend so VSCode serves me well.

I use VSCode which works best for me as I mostly write JS(frontend and backend). I installed couple of extentions as per my work. When I work with server, I mostly use nano for quick changes on server.

I’ve used Coda forever, and the makers, panic, just released Nova a week or two ago and I’ve switched to using that. It works really well for editing projects on a remote server via ssh.

I use Atom. Used VSCode for a long time but I find it too cluttered with stuff now, so Atom was a natural choice. It's like VSCode but with less…stuff everywhere.

PHPStorm! My day job company pays for it so its cool
