Yet VSCode is one of the most popular IDEs with many other IDEs being forks of it.
I am amazed this is even remotely controversial. It’s one of the few products they make that’s actually good. Just tells you how far off the real world most Lemmy users are lol.
Funnily I have been fine with a lot of Microsoft software before, but VSCode was not one of them. Mostly because I’m very picky about something I’ll be using all day everyday and for that VSCode has too many issues for my taste.
Popular. So coca cola is the best drink?
JetBrains are miles ahead visual code for example.
Funny how you just have to be condescending, almost like you don’t have any real arguments. But keep on being “amazed”, bet you’re “amazed” about ai vibe coding, I mean it is all the rage …
I actually like JetBrains too. It isn’t mutually exclusive to only like one or the other.
You haven’t made a single real argument either.
Here let me make mine:
VSCode works with a huge range of languages, is very flexible and extendable, and has great support for remote development, development in containers, and even has cloud hosted IDEs based on it (Eclipse Che anyone?). Despite being web based it’s somehow faster/lighter than JetBrains. It’s also less expensive with fully open source versions available.
Edit: also I wasn’t being condescending until people started attacking me for an incredibly uncontroversial opinion. Your the one being condescending here.
I’m being condescending lol? No u 😁
So as I thought you don’t have a real point. You just came here to call the popular thing bad for not fitting your tastes.
You’re just angry your favourite IDE gets bashed lol.
I’ve used Eclipse, Jet Brains, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, vim, Cursor, and more for programming. I’ve played around with even more besides that. I don’t owe loyalty to any of these. Hence me having no issue with you using Jet Brains. It’s saved my ass a few times as well. That doesn’t make it perfect anymore than any of the others are perfect.
Just use the one you like for sure. That’s what smart people tend to do. One day it’ll be like that with programming languages, everyone has their favourite(s) but sometimes you have to code in Java because that’s simpler to use in a specific setting.
Is the feud over 😋 ?
Bro who do you think your talking to? It already is like that for me for programming languages. I’ve certainly programmed in enough of them. The more likely option is that you will be working in an already established code base and have to use what they are already using or want you to use. You sound like a hobby programmer. That or someone at a company using microservices for everything.
What does JetBrains do that makes it miles ahead?
On mint it actually finds the C# sources in Godot, for example. It also easily “compiles” and launches the soft through Godot, with working debugging. Vscode is a nightmare to set up, there are configs, other files, project files, and other parameters that just aren’t taken into account. Or having, gasp, code in a folder, it just isn’t getting scanned by vscode. You can surely get it to work, but if you don’t use the base boilerplate setup it just doesn’t function well at all.
I have used visual studio since early 2000 and it was good, then it became bloated, and vscode is IMO just a lighter version of that bloated visual.
VSCode and Visual Studio aren’t from the same code base. They aren’t commonly used for the same things, or on the same platforms. Do you think they are comparable because they have similar names?
Not understanding how to use the thing doesn’t make it bad. It’s no wonder your confused if you think it’s an alternative to Visual Studio.
Now you’re at it again, putting words in my mouth and behind condescending. I used visual studio when you were probably in diapers (see how nice it is when someone is gratiously attacking you?), and who cares what Codebase is used lol, what an asinine remark.
Who started attacking who here?
I have been programming in some capacity for about 12 or 13 years now. Let’s not argue seniority here.
With 3 years of full-time professional experience or less I bet.
But you already know how to use a downvote, so you’re not a noob any more!
Welcome to the internet.
I am a PhD student doing stuff about cyber security and AI. So no programming is not my primary field anymore.
I am kind of surprised someone who’s primary job is programming has such problems using a tool like VSCode that’s supposed to be usable by even beginners.
