#63Vim + tmux + NERDTree + a bunch of other plugins to handle code completion, gutters, etc. Add a 34-inch ultrawide monitor (Dell has been best with color accuracy for me) to the mix and a nice keyboard, makes all the difference in the world!
Would you mind sharing what plugins your using? I've tried combining and setting up yourcompleteme, ale and one or two others I can't recall, but it never work as flawlessly as say vs code or pycharm in terms of completion, suggestions and quick doc viewing. Are you using vim or neovim?
Youcompleteme (works great for me, but I think I had to tinker with it) NERDTree NERDcommenter Gitgutter pdb (experimenting with it)
Probably forgetting something.

What kind of work do you do with that setup if you don't mind me asking?
I’m a product guy by trade. Currently, focusing on data-related products and functionality, but have done SaaS, telco, etc.
For work I recently had to write some QA tools to extract data from BigQuery and verify that the payload is correct. Vim and google’s bq cli made it a lot easier than I expected.

#66-2011 - 2017 netbeans (Java and PHP): more stable and feature rich than eclipse. Still excellent code navigation and refactoring like eclipse.
-2017 - VS Code (Angular and. Typescript, occasionally Java): fast, lightweight and still does most of the things I need. Improving every month. Extendable to edit any mainstream language it seems.
Things I have left behind after spending serious time with it:
- Sublime (was a paying customer but VS Code us now so much better I won't pay for another release)
- IntelliJ (has had both personal and company license but after a few months I fell back to eclipse/Netbeans)
- Visual Studio. (I like C#, find it better than Java but the IDE just doesn't cut it for someone who has been spoiled with Java tooling.)

#67Visual FoxPro. By a long mile. I never need to install a package system, use VM, install a database engine or anything like that. Maybe the most was download some components from some site (I remenber was a large forum back them). Integrate REPL, form builder, report builder, rdbms, database builder, query builder, menu builder... ----- Second best was Delphi 3/7.
What do you use now?

#68I don't install any service on my machine and just run everything using Docker. (You can actually even run games using Docker (plz don't try it on macOS. Linux? Sure!)
I use VIM keybindings in all text-editors and IDEs that I’m using.
For desktop/window management, I use Xmonad (a tiling window manager). Which means I can organize all the open window(s), move them around, resize them, manage multiple workspace, and screens, all using keyboard.
For terminal, I’m using fish-shell which is very powerful and highly customizable and friendly shell with a lot of aliases and functions to keep me productive. and also use Tmux only when needed.
I use Vimium extension in Firefox (it is also available for Chrome) which allow me to use VIM keybindings in browser including navigation, selecting text, clicking on links, and some extra macros to do even more and all of that with VIM keybindings that I use everywhere.
And finally, I have my dotfiles on Github which means I can setup my work environment on any machine in 5minutes.
I use VScode, Intellija, and VIM (SublimeText way less than before because of VSCode) And it depends on what project I have to work with.
Mostly because it is easier for instance to enable VIM keybindings in VSCode when I'm writing JS/Typescript comparing to setting up VIM and achieving same level of productivity. So I choose to stick to VIM keybindings and not VIM itself most of the time.

#69i attribute to the fact that the language is extremely expressive, full of ready-to-use CPAN modules and VSE was/is compiled natively to the Operating System, from a nicely written codebase. So the IDE was actually helping me, instead of keeping me frustrated waiting many seconds for each context menu ( cof, eclipse, cof ). But it lacked ( by then ) on plugins for many other tasks on many other languages.

#70Linux I'm using XMonad, although I'll most likely switch to i3 next time I tweak my dev setup.
I use neovim for most of my work, although I need to switch to atom with nuclide on occasion to debug code. I have bindings like the recommendation from the tmux navigator that enables me to move between panes with Ctrl+hjkl. Variety of other plugins for hack, python, JavaScript, Java, etc.
