Lol "as good as intellij" what the actual fuck.

I cannot imagine how much worse you'd have to make vscode to make it as shit as intellij is. And even vscode is pretty shit.

Kotlin would be a great language if it wasn't hampered by that IDE.

Really hoping Zed takes off, VSCode while versatile, feels clunky and slow

Having bunch of plugins built-in is not any better than having a bunch of plugins

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

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

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 75 points 1 week ago

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

[-] arty@feddit.org 23 points 1 week ago

You can, they are not built in but bundled

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

That's just built in with extra steps.

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

You guys use editors? Real programmers only need a mechanical hard drive, a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

describing IntelliJ as "good".

Shots fired back. 😈

quietly scoots his entire github repo for his neovim configuration and 200+ plugins behind his back

Haha yeah totally

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

Lol wow, intelliJ? Shit's slow as fuck

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

I have 60ish plugins for VS Code and IntelliJ is still slower / sluggish.

NGL I'd use jetbrainz products more if they weren't that pricey and more portable

[-] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 30 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

Maybe I just have a shitty computer, but I feel like as good as intelliJ is, it's very slow compared to VScode. And fuck me if I'm trying to do anything in Android Studio.

[-] glorptex@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

It is slower. It's a fully fledged IDE, VSCode is not so it will always be way faster, but that's again this meme, JetBrains IDE's are super powerful so I guess you can say what it lacks in speed it got in power. It's also written in Java so it's memory heavy, but it is what it is.

I use both and I enjoy both. I would never however use JetBrains to open and edit a single file, its way to slow for that.

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...)

[-] enumerator4829@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago

VSCode is just Emacs with a weirder Lisp. (/s)

(You can tear my Emacs from my cold dead hands)

Yes, I’d rather have 35 different IDEs for every task I need to do. Much better than One To Rule Them All.

Being plugin based avoids bloat (doesn’t matter for code-oss because it’s electron)
