I also enjoy DotPeek a lot more than the other .NET decompilers out there. I bought Rider, hoping the Visual Studio emulations would satisfy me (I use Visual Studio at work, but run linux at home) but sadly I have been unable to get it to work.

I thought the same when I first saw "stock" Rider - it's a very different look and feel from Visual Studio, more what you'd be used to as a Java dev with IntelliJ, or an Android dev with Android Studio. I personally found th look a bit... dated. A while back JetBrains made Rider more themable (prior to that update, you could only really theme the editor, not the file explorer etc). After that update, it looks great w…

The IntelliJ dark theme is called Darcula. Nice pun.

Jetbrains products are awesome though. I used to use a heavily customized vim which was a pretty good setup, but the things a jetbrains ide can do are just much better than what my custom setup could do. I pay for a personal subscription and couldn't be happier. I will recommend everyone to atleast give their products a try. They have a free trial period.

I get frustrated by people who insist on a complex vi/emacs setup for something Jetbrains IDEs do better out of the box. Or people who insist Sublime is good for editing their complex React project.

I am a big fan of Intellij. But the single most feature I hate about their products is keyboard shortcuts. If they follow standard unix shortcuts along with standard browser shortcuts, it will be more productive.

I was completely baffled when I noticed Ctrl+Q is the shortcut to open the documentation

I use Jetbrains products for everything at work. I don't know what's going to happen if I ever have to work at an Eclipse shop. Might have to turn it down, honestly.

The last place I was at was an IntelliJ shop, but I don't think there was anything in the project layout or committed files that was specific to IntelliJ, so if they're good about not committing project files, it should be the same for Eclipse. You'd just be on your own, though.

It’s hard for me to praise Jetbrains, every time I start using Idea I have amazing experience, I feel like it’s totally one of the best IDEs out there and then couple days and non-trivial plugins later I have noticeable lags when typing text . I immediately give up and switch back to my previous setup. Why can’t IDEs prioritize reducing typing latency? That’s like one of the most important parts of text editing. Anyb…

I'm working on a pretty heavy Java Spring/React project in IDEA and noticed some slowdowns recently when doing certain things. The IDE also complained that it was running low on memory when it happened.

I enabled the memory usage viewer and saw that by default the whole IDE has a ceiling of 750M for the Java VM. I upped this to 2GB because I have plenty of RAM so why not.

The slowdowns have completely stopped and it runs great again. You might be thinking 2GB thats a lot of memory to write code! Yeah, but IDEA is my all-in-one development interface, I write, inspect, debug, etc all from IDEA. 2GB is totally reasonable for what it provides me and my dev machine has plenty to spare anyway. 750M is too low of a default for a heavy Maven project with lot of dependencies.

Haven't used their IDEs for some time, but I really like DataGrip. While someone always knows of an open source alternative, it's the best full-featured cross-database tool I've found.

I really liked HeidiSQL when I was working on Windows, but after switching to Linux I struggled to find anything with similar UI and workflow. DataGrip was a really nice discovery, though I still haven't gotten fully comfortable with the UI, it's quite a bit more complex.

Hello! I use Sublime for my complex React project. What should I be using instead?

I have used CLion, and would say JetBrains did an excellent job with making a C IDE. The issue is that C is not much of an "IDE language"; my experience has always been to just use a text editor (vim or vscode), and it seems to be the same for most C devs I know. Looking at newer languages, they seem to pair closely with IDEs; I'm still not a big IDE guy, but most use them for python, java, etc. I'm not enough of an…

> The issue is that C is not much of an "IDE language" This isn't an issue with the language so much as it is with the build systems, includes, library paths, and tooling. Compare to Java (set the classpath to exactly the artifacts you want and IntelliJ uses its own build system unless you explicitly tell it otherwise), Python (set up a virtualenv with exactly what you want and PyCharm handles its own builds, insofar…

Exactly. #include "header.h". But where is it? Depends on compiler flags. Java has the same problem, but luckily has only ~2 build systems that are well-supported by IDEs.
