Jetbrains IntelliJ. I use it for html, JS, CSS, Vue, node.js, Python, Java, SQL, etc. I’ve tried visual studio and some other IDEs, but find intellij to be superior in every way.

Wow.. I hate it... the quality of IntelliJ has really fallen. I've been using it for like 5 years now and I'm constantly fighting it

There are literally 20-40 serious bugs that impact me daily.

Two: - UltraEdit. What Photoshop is to images, UltraEdit is to text. The weird thing is, it’s not a super flashy or even immediately intuitive tool. But once you get the hang of it, it never fails to deliver. - Excel. It’s insane the breadth of stuff you can do with it. And as a tool, it’s equally handy and “oh my God this will save me so much work” for a school teacher as it is for a data analyst and stock broker. I…

I have very mixed feelings about Excel, having been using it intensively over the last year where I never did before. It has a large number of components with overlapping functionality, apparently designed by separate teams at different times, all missing crucial functionality when I want to make some sort of BI type of solution. You have DAX, you have VBA, you have Power Query, you have the Data Model. And every new…

Things that we pay for. SQL Server : it's not cheap, but it's genuinely good. Live query plans, clustered columnstore indices, linked servers, rich SQL features. Tableau : more than a dashboarding tool, it's actually a really good multivariate exploratory data analysis (EDA) tool. You can use it to visualize multidimensional data easily. I do use Jupyter (seaborn, plotly) and R (ggplot2) which are good, but Tableau l…

Why is Splunk among the bests for you? What is the cheaper alternative?

Not Jira. Hahahahaha.

I think Jira is among the better in the enterprise software class. Compared with ServiceNow (different use case but also enterprice-y) I much much prefer Jira. For example, the URL structure is sane.

Wait, service now is 3rd party software? It's so bad I assumed it was internal, by a team of 2-3 utterly incompetent web developers. This is paid for? Oh my god...

I had this exact same feeling.

Are you scripting Excel to run at 3am?

The only one that is different is Rider, since it has much deeper C# integration (might be others such as DataGrip, but never used it). PyCharm and GoLand are just plugins (same as WebStorm, PhpStorm, etc)

technically resharper is way diferent as well but whether you'd call it a ide is "questionable"

Rider runs ReSharper underneath

1) nimbletext. when clients send me excel sheets with tons of data to import i would generate insert statements in the sheets themselves. this is a painful experience. Then i found out about nimbletext. its pure joy to use. 2) jailer. I'm a visual kind of guy. so this makes database analysis very easy. 3) onenote. if only it had Linux app i would use it for personal use. 4) visual studio 2019. customized to the bone…

I don't think anyone would call Autohotkey "enterprise".

P3X OneNote will scratch the Linux OneNote itch, or just run it in a browser tab. Better than nothing.
