As in VSCode never got to parity, or vice versa?
In the past five years or so I haven't bumped into anyone who would use Atom. When Atom came out, it picked up some steam, but I'd say VS Code has already won that race by far.
I was pretty set with my Atom setup but it was clear that it is mostly EoL'd.

As someone who used to develop in Delphi for my day job, but has been mostly out of the loop for the last ~10 years, this really got me curious: do people actually use VSCode for Delphi ? I mean, Delphi already comes with an IDE, including a GUI ("Forms") designer - that was its killer feature back in the nineties, that you could slap together a GUI app as quickly as in good ol' Visual Basic, but backed by a compiled…
No clue, I just picked a random not super mainstream language as an example. I'm sure vscode is terrible for Delphi, but I'm willing to bet that the experience (with whatever third party plugins exist) will be better than any jetbrains product.

> But that does not carry over to all languages. It does. All languages are basically the same. They parse to ASTs that you can manipulate programmatically. If those ASTs are strongly typed, you can safely perform refractors. What makes IntelliJ good is the base framework JetBrains uses, the same one they use in WebStorm, PyCharm, etc. VSCode is that same thing: an adaptable base and I’m sure making it on par for Jav…
No. Microsoft has delegated Java support to redhat. ...no surprise, why would they waste their time on it? They give zero fruitcakes about Java. Let’s just say, 3rd party plugins (like the redhat Java language support) are.... not of the same quality... as the Microsoft plugins.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I don't believe this is correct. The IDE shell is the same, but in (for example) Rider there are features that are in Rider but not in IDEA. Likewise RubyMine. I suspect WebStorm and PhpStorm, too.
There just isn’t a C#/.NET plugin for IDEA that replicates the Rider functionality, though. Same with CLion and AppCode. They do ship Ruby and Python and PHP plugins. The JavaScript/web dev stuff is baked into all of their IDEs.
The thing is, I’m confident in saying the plugins don’t replicate 100% of the feature set of PhpStorm or WebStorm either, but I’d defer to someone from JetBrains who has first hand experience.

In my opinion, the Emacs/Vim communities clearly missed a golden opportunity for a more larger adoption. They just copy their init.el/vimrc to the server, Emacs/Vim users have been able to do this (coding on remote environments without all the kludges) since forever ;) and personally, I find it superior to vscoce's remote plugin since your editor and tools sit on the same machine. For GUI editors, I agree that vscode…

Unfortunately this doesn't work well if your connection has a high latency though, which I think is what VScode does really well.
Asking mainly because I think this is cool, but the whole setup (lots of random binaries in the server) is not so different to an AppImage of emacs+xpra (if you could do tha) and the times I tried, the thing was _very_ picky about connection losses/timeouts...
> The key technology here is probably the Language Server Protocol I've been working on an LSP implementation lately, and I have to say so far the reality falls short of the promise. I feel like what LSP should be is a clear, simple interface for implementing IDE-like features for any language, but my experience is that it is incredibly arcane and difficult to use. The main issue is the documentation. It has a high-l…
As an aside, do you know of anywhere for Language Server implementors to gather and swap stories?

Not sure how many devs code in a single language these days. I go back/forth between Go, Dart, and C++ every day, so using one IDE like VSCode (with the familiar features from extensions to shortcuts to snippets) is a big help.
I wish JetBrains looked exactly into that, and deliver one IDE with above (^^^).
> GitHub is now a MS property, so in the future VS Code is expected to be more and more integrated into GitHub. That pretty much catches all the young and hip audience in a MS owned behavior loop. Which certainly shows some very competent strategic planning. And so, it baffles me even more that AWS weren't in the conversation to acquire GitHub (or if they were, that they failed to acquire them). Seems like a huge mis…
Yeah or Google. They stopped Google Code (or whatever it was) to move it all to GitHub; I just assumed they'd then buy GitHub. Felt like a much more natural home for it. Maybe Gitlab?

Intellij allows you to install pretty much most of the features from all the other jetbrains IDEs as plugins. Additionally most of their IDE's have the ability to code in several other languages seperate from the core experience. Almost all of their IDE's can for example integrate with the javascript ecosystem. I think you're making a mistake here. Essentially behind the scenes there's one jetbrains IDE. This IDE is…
A faster/lighter JetBrains IDE would beat everything in VSCode... except for price. CLion and WebStorm and PhpStorm cost money, there's no dedicated Rust IDE yet, and you have to pay money for CLion or (IntelliJ Ultimate) (not Community) to debug Rust programs.
