What's your favorite IDE right now? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I use vscode for my personal projects (c++ and a fully open source stack, compiling for both Linux and Windows).

I'm using the proprietary version of vscode (via the aur) for the plugin repository, but I've always envied the open source version...

Are there any tools that have made you excited?

Bonus points if they have some support for compiling with MSVC (or if you can convince me to ditch it for something else).

I just started a Python course. My tutor uses Thonny and I have tried Pycharm previously and prefer it. Maybe because I am lazy or because I prefer all the autofill I can get. And I need all the highlighting. I am code blind.

Static typed languages usually have better auto fill suggestions than dynamic ones. It's harder to make good auto fill with dynamic languages so.

That's not being lazy, that's pretty much using the tool that was made exactly for this purpose.
