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 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.

My understanding is that is largely due to limitations of Visual Studio extensions, not due to performance issues with Reshaper specifically.

I have both VS 2019 and Rider installed, Rider is my main IDE and VS I use pretty much only for SQL Server projects.

Riders ability to seamlessly handle git branch changes vs Visual Studio choking horribly on the same is worth the (very affordable) price alone.

I definitely am on the opposite side when it comes to Tableau. After you get over the initial learning curve you start to realize that everything in Tableau when working with calculated fields is a workaround. If your data doesn't already look amazing going into Tableau you're in for a bad time.

Was a big fan of tableau and we use it in production. It's a wonderfully exploratory tool. But the real pain start when you have 50+ workbooks and the underlying data model MUST introduce breaking change for whatever reason. There is to my knowledge no way to automate edition of workbooks. You are in for GUI repetitive soul sucking task. Bonus pain if "workaround" are involved. (Just have a look at the support forum.…

Also forgot to mention it can't seem to work with array without ugliest hack.

On the flipside, I find IntelliJ causes my computer to go into overdrive while VSC is pretty snappy. A shame because I love using their software. I guess I just need to get a new computer lol

VSC != VS I'm sure VS chugs power like IntelliJ too

> VSC != VS

Yes, but VSCode offers a lot of the functionality for a lot of the programming languages/frameworks OP mentioned he uses IntelliJ for. HTML, JS, CSS, Vue, Node, Python are all perfectly useable in VSCode. For stuff like Java and maybe SQL the full version of Visual Studio would be a fair comparison since VSCode's options for that aren't that amazing (imho).

Is anyone just using Git{Hub,Lab,Tea} issues and being fine with it? Is the absence of a Kanban board a deal breaker? Perhaps for management.

Git-adjacent issue trackers are communication tools for developers. JIRA is a surveillance and control mechanism for senior executives. It just depends on the size of your company.

So is JIRA.

Never saw it being used like that, though I see how it could be abused.

The culture probably more than the size.

Jetbrains 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.

Although I have the hots for intellij IDEA too, does it count as enterprise?

Well, I'm cheap. I wouldn't use it if my enterprise company didn't pay for it. If I had to pay for it, I'd find something free.

Surprised 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'm not surprised that there's not a ton of SAP lovers here, though.

I haven't met a single person in any IT area who usually works with non-SAP products who likes SAP. Even a lot of the people in the SAP departments dislike SAP.

The only people are I've met that all love SAP are SAP employees living in my area, which isn't too surprising I guess.

Do you have some examples? I've used IntelliJ or variants of it (Clion primarily in more recent years) since ~2004 and rarely had any issues, but it's possible I'm missing some obvious things here.

macos + 4k display [0] = enormous performance issues even on mac pro [0] https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-526

Yep, and that issue has been open for FIVE YEARS. The related issue which promises a fix has "only" been open for two, however: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-745
