My 35+ years experience (ah ah!) tells me that emacs is the best :-) Just kidding... I code small stuff nowadays, so emacs is just fine. But if I had to get into something big, I'd certainly use a tool with powerful and fast code navigation, and something that works out of the box. LSP mode on emacs is not easy to set up. I mean, you can get it 90% working in 15 minutes, sure, but then come the little things such as:…

Org mode was my main "excuse" for keeping Emacs around, but these days i've more or less given up using it due to lack of decent mobile clients. Instead i've more or less settled on Obsidian for my notes, which does 99% of what i used org-mode for, and i use other tools for the last 1%. The only thing i'm missing is a good (integrated) solution for task and time tracking/reporting. I'm aware that PlainOrg ( https://p…

How does this work in the presence of syntax errors? 95% of the time you're writing code, your code is syntactically invalid, because you've started some new construct but not finished it yet, so you need syntax highlighting, code completion, etc to…

Yeah, people in this thread are praising the one time purchase but I'm almost seeing it as a red flag - how do we know a niche product like this will stick around without recurring revenue? I don't know if that's paid major upgrades or similar. Edit: As a sibling comment pointed out it does actually do paid upgrades after a year so ignore my comment.

Goland is just a beast that does so much more it's not even in the same league. What would make sense in the comparison chart is something like ST3.

VSCode opens in 1s on my machine (macbook pro m1). Good enough for me.
