Another Catgirl ( @anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 14•9 months agoMy favorite is Kate because it’s less of an IDE and more of a text editor with side panes for the project tree and a terminal to run the program. Easy enough to set up a hot key to save-build-run. I think that’s all I need?
Nyanix ( @Nyanix@lemmy.ca ) 2•9 months agoRight there with you, I’m on the admin side of things, so the time it takes the app to start is a bigger deal to me than the full featured-ness of VS Codium, but provides contextual highlighting and some quality-of-life coding features that you won’t find it text editors.
WatTyler ( @WatTyler@lemmy.sdf.org ) 12•9 months agoLots of replies mentioning Emacs but Emacs out of the box is gonna be essentially a text editor (insert obligatory: Emacs isn’t a text editor; it’s a LISP interpreter).
However, install Doom Emacs, and you have a full IDE experience for essentially any language you could ask for. I highly recommend it.
👁️👄👁️ ( @mojo@lemm.ee ) English4•9 months agoEmacs is a life style
is there a flatpak of this?
WatTyler ( @WatTyler@lemmy.sdf.org ) 2•9 months agoFollowing up from my previous comment, there is a Flatpak of Emacs available on Flathub. Here are the instructions for how to install, whilst enabling native compilation, which will offer a performance increase and allow you to use features such as
vterm
(the best terminal emulator for Emacs). WatTyler ( @WatTyler@lemmy.sdf.org ) 2•9 months agoI’m not too familiar with how Flatpak works but Emacs benefits from compiling it on your machine natively. Tell me what distro you’re on and I can see if I can find out how you’d do that.
linux mint - can i use doom emacs btw. also thx
ExLisper ( @ExLisper@linux.community ) English11•9 months agoWell nvim, obviously. It’s pretty much fully featured. With LSP plugins you get all the code completion, hints, type info, docs and so on. You also get typical navigation like ‘go to declaration’ and some basic refactoring. And all inside the best editor there is. I’m using it for C, JS, JSX and Rust and all works great. I honestly prefer it to IntelliJ, it loads faster and is more responsive.
TrollBlox ( @trollblox_@lemmy.ml ) 11•9 months agono love for jetbrains ides?

Joker ( @Joker@beehaw.org ) English7•9 months agoVSCodium, emacs, vim/neovim, helix.
Helix is pretty slick, but it’s not very extensible. Very easy to use and if the out of the box features are good enough for you then it’s a fine IDE.
Neovim is my preference unless I’m working with Jupyter notebooks, in which case I switch to vscodium. It’s a pain in the ass to set up. I took the easy way out with LazyVim. It’s fast to work with and I can use it for almost everything.
I dabbled with emacs many years ago. It’s like vim but completely different. You can make it do anything. Personally, I don’t care for the keyboard shortcuts. It’s probably easier to pick up than vim, but all the key chords and sequences are too much for me. In any case, anyone willing to look at vim should also take a look at emacs.
VSCodium is accessible and extensible. You can’t go wrong with this one. It can’t refactor like the Jetbrains stuff, but if there’s anything else it can’t do then I don’t know what it is. It’s a great IDE.
Really, any of these can do just about any job and do it very well. There’s no choice that clearly stands above the others. It really comes down to personal preference.
Helix 🧬 ( @Helix@feddit.de ) 2•9 months agoHelix is pretty slick, but it’s not very extensible.
Bruh, thanks for the compliment, but I can be very flexible.
Dessalines ( @dessalines@lemmy.ml ) 5•9 months agoHelix. This is the one that could potentially be the successor to vim.
Helix 🧬 ( @Helix@feddit.de ) English6•9 months agoI could never be a successor to vim. However micro is a pretty good editor.
ntzm [he/him] ( @ntzm@lemmy.ml ) English2•9 months agoI love helix, I just wish the development was a bit faster. The main developers are all quite busy and I would love nothing more for them to be able to use some of the open collective money to pay themselves to work on it full time for a bit. I think in a year or two it will be amazing.
Helix 🧬 ( @Helix@feddit.de ) 5•9 months agoI love helix
Woah woah, not so fast.
Love you too
how do you have that robot symbol beside you
Helix 🧬 ( @Helix@feddit.de ) English1•8 months agoBleep bloop, I’m a bot. To also have a 🤖 beside your name, enable the ‘this is a bot account’ flag in your Lemmy instance’s settings.
anar ( @anarchist@lemmy.ml ) 3•8 months agoNeovim all the way, super fast and lends you heavy control.
how does not having a gui work? it’s just the terminal right?
BubblyMango ( @BubblyMango@lemmy.wtf ) 2•8 months agoThere are multiple gui front ends, but its still very popular to use it in the terminal. Its a TUI, so it practically works like a GUI.
difference between cli and tui? also what frontends are good
BubblyMango ( @BubblyMango@lemmy.wtf ) 2•8 months agoIn a cli you only type commands and send them with Enter, in a TUI you can click/move around with the arrows just like in a gui.
Edit: dont know about good front ends.
Helix 🧬 ( @Helix@feddit.de ) English3•9 months agomicro + makefiles. It’s very very fast.
VSCodium is OK aswell, has lots of extensions, but a bit slow. I can work with it way better than with IntelliJ products though.

dan ( @dan@upvote.au ) 2•9 months agoI used to like MonoDevelop maybe 10 years ago, but it’s not around any more. If I remember correctly, it was the only open-source IDE that supported C# and ran on Linux. That was before C# and .NET were open-source and Mono was the only way to run C# apps on Linux. Things are way different now.
The best today is obviously
nano
. It has syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, and at some point they made it so Ctrl+S saves the file. What more do you need? (cut and paste still use weird shortcuts though) Helix 🧬 ( @Helix@feddit.de ) 1•9 months agomicro > nano
Link ( @link@lemy.lol ) 0•9 months agoHow about VSCodium? I don’t think I should explain why VS Code is best editor.
/home/pineapplelover ( @pineapplelover@lemm.ee ) 1•9 months agoYou might need to explain to me. I’ve been having so many issues just using vscodium, took me forever to figure out I need to build and compile the code myself and not run it using the play button like Visual Studio in school (I’m a second year comp sci student).
