Of course, use cases are different. In my case I usually deploy either automatically or manually, but in those rare cases when you can't replicate bug locally there is nothing better than vi. But of course, to each his own.

Debugging directly on the production system? Yeah, nobody does that. Well, nobody who has any kind of serious operation going on. If you can't replicate a bug outside a production environment you have a serious deficit in the devops department. You should be able to stage a machine with a copy of the production DB/data and the same reproducible package(code) that currently runs on your production systems. Everything…

I would love to replace Syntastic with ale, but (1) is there a way to have it just highlight the line with the error instead of using the gutter? And (2) is there a way to get it to use pyflakes instead? pylint is a little too aggressive: it complains about modules it can't import which is by design in my working environment.

VSCode/Atom are great, but for most folks on UNIX they are worthless, since you have to use something else when ssh-d into another machine. So folks build these elaborate Vim and EMACS set-ups so that they could use the same editor and the same config on all of their machines, whether they're local or remote. Vim is an acquired taste, but once acquired, it's pretty awesome.

Modern GNU/linux filemanagers support connecting to ssh server and browse and open and edit files just like they are local. You can do it in two seconds. In ubuntu it's file -> connect to server -> type in ssh://username@ip That's it you are done. You can now browse the files as if they are local and use sublime/gedit/VSCode/Pycharm/whatever you want

  sshfs -o Ciphers=aes128-gcm@openssh.com -o Compression=no -o reconnect \
  -o modules=iconv,from_code=utf-8,to_code=utf-8-mac \
  myremote:/somedirectory/ /mylocalmountdir

Yesterday I've downloaded VSCode and https://github.com/DonJayamanne/pythonVSCode (seriously, look at the GIFs in this repo!) for first time and I had autocompletion (with IntelliSense and documentation lookup), refactoring and code define jumping for Python code out of the box working within 10 minutes in a VirtualEnv. VSCode + one plugin (all opensource) and I had something similar to PyCharm and fast. (nothing aga…

I prefer console in general, for everything. I've been doing this for 20+ years, and you can pry it from my cold, dead hands.

I've only been coding for 11 years professionally, but also as a hobby before that. Only in 2016 did I move most of my work out of VIM into an IDE: the Jetbrains family. That mostly started for better interactive debugging, but with IDEAVim handling 95% of my VIMisms I find that I'm simply coding in PyCharm and PhpStorm by default now. The base editor is open source but you can get the full PyCharm for $99 per year.…
