#102Nice, Intellij (avec GoPlugin) is the only dev tool I pay for out of pocket. The vast majority of the company I'm at uses VSCode (for mostly GoLang & Typescript). So I don't want to make the case to have them pay for it. But 40hrs/w of my existance is spent in a IDE/editor and IMO its totally worth it to pay for the one I feel most productive with.
I understand why but I'm still a bit sour.
And that's how I finally tried VSCode.

#103I badly want to use intellij for Rust and other languages. But the issue I smash up against is that years of Vscode + my customizations has made using any other editor terribly clunky. I can spend hours customizing the controls and UI but I still feel like someone handed me the keys to some old car made in a country that doesn't exist anymore. This in part revealed to me the cost associated with all the editor custom…
Can anyone comment on the state of Vim emulation in Vscode? I'm in Android Studio largely because of its support for my .vimrc, without which I can not live. But I see[1] that there have been recent commits related to this in Vscode. How good is it? Other thoughtful comparisons between life in JetBrains world vs Vscode welcome as well.

How did you become unable to do basic text editing without a specific editor setup? Why do people become so dependent on tools?

#105Shame they had to sell out with their bullshit subscription model
I also dislike their insistence on copying the grey Adobe's UIs.

#106I love jet brains but I'll say this. Their software is part of the reason I paid for 32 GB of ram on my new macbook pro.
Thank Java.

are you really writing that much code where a 20% (actual, and I'm going to guess to you it's a 100% percieved) slow down is going to make you get fired? Or think of it another way, why are you only able to work in optimal environments, and is that the real benefit you provide? Are you going to get laid off if you aren't fully optimal? If you switched keyboard layouts would you lose this speed too? Can you afford to…
PS: I'm pretty sure that Emacs must have a multi-cursor mode somewhere :)

If you use their flagship offering, IntelliJ, it includes language support for Python, Javascript, and many other languages either directly or via a plugin that replaces most of the respective functionality of Webstorm, Pycharm and Rubymine. Just some niche features (like a C debugger only found in CLion) are unique to the other IDEs IIRC

#109This seems to be just some weird preference that my brain has and since Jetbrains is such a nice company and has a sustainable funding model I'm happy to send people their way

Use CLion instead of IntelliJ. It has much better debugging support.
I've used both VSCode and CLion quite a bit for Rust, and I prefer CLion. It's got a much better understanding of the language.
