None, pretty much everything that has enterprise in its name is a nuisance to me.

#162Two: - 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 got a personal license for UltraEdit years ago too after using it at work (these fancy Electron editors didn't exist back then).
It definitely isn't fancy but it works well for larger files and things like column mode and perl regex searches are just so nice in certain cases. I'm finding it hard to put down especially since I do a lot of Perl and I haven't found a big benefit for an IDE there.

I've heard that before but I'm skeptic about if it's exactly the same.
It's the same thing if you pay for IntelliJ Pro, then the IDE supports every language and every plugin. Otherwise the free edition has a number of missing things and it's blocking the installation of plugins that could somewhat compensate.
Does it support .NET? I thought I needed Rider for that.

#164Jetbrains 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.
Totally agree man, is the all-in-one programmer software (if you know how to use it though). I see colleagues with 10 different software to do their job, I just need phpstorm.

#165Things 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…
I'll pick a nit: Visual Studio is not unparalleled; in fact I think Rider is better. (Rider doesn't choke on large solutions to anywhere near the same extent, in my experience.)

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 feel like sn's biggest issue/strength is the length it lets you customize things.
Sure, it can suck so incredibly bad. But it can be really good too, depending on who built it up.
But I agree that the URLs are terrible, it's slow, and it's too easy to lose things along the way. Especially custom things
I say this as someone whose job is to help manage my company's sn instance and clean up the utter shite left behind by our predecessors

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.
I find this with all IDEs; quality is dropping fast and bugs do not get fixed. I find myself reaching for emacs more and more.
VSCode is the one exception IME. The base editor is improving and the range of high-quality extensions is growing.
Eg installing and running the Lombok extension is a one-liner. I fought for about an hour trying to do the same on Eclipse.

#169Surprised by the answers given here. If I hear 'enterprise', I'm thinking SAP, IBM, Oracle. SAS etc., not some dev environments or niche tools.

I haven't used rider but this seems so strange to me because resharper(made by the same people as rider) will cause my $2600 2019 desktop to grind to a screaming hault on small solutions.
And as long as I don't install resharper I've found visual studio to be pretty snappier even up to a million loc solutions.
