I'm actually a pretty hard core Linux user who avoids M'soft products when possible, but it's hard to deny I good IDE when I see one. I've never been able to navigate emacs/vim with ease, and sans them, I've never heard of a highly touted, Linux-friendly IDE.
- saiya-jin 11y agoeclipse doesn't suit your needs?
- ethbro 11y ago(Just chiming in my $.02) Eclipse, I guess because of the plug-in architecture, always felt a bit "left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" to me. Sure, it works, but I wouldn't say it's something I like to use.
- laumars 11y agoEclipse is a Visual Studio competitor, not Visual Studio Code. The former is the classic full blown IDE (like the Borland IDE's of old), the latter is a more a feature rich text editor (competitors being Sublime Text, Kate, Notepad++, Brackets and Atom - to name only a small few popular examples)

- tlarkworthy 11y agoI just switched as the typescript plugin is slow for the idea family. The code ide is FAST
- YngwieMalware 11y agoIntelliJ's new subscription platform is really really bad/misguided/tone-deaf
- mnx 11y agoDid you see the updated version with the fallback licences? seems very fair to me.

- stoolpigeon 11y agoI'm struggling to understand how you are a hard core Linux user yet you've never heard of a good Linux IDE. KDevelop? Eclipse? Netbeans? KomodoIDE? Anything from JetBrains? And I don't even know what might be available on the Gnome side. Then there are all the great editors that sit right on the verge of being IDEs once you configure - Kate, KomodoEdit, Sublime Text and so many more. Personally the look at VS Code made me think it's an editor not an IDE but maybe that's changed.
- mkaziz 11y agoI've tried Eclipse, Netbeans, Komodo IDE, Geany, and found them either too clunky and unusable on my older machine, or too barebones with little intellisense. I did start using Sublime Text once, but didn't stick it out long enough to get used to it. I haven't tried the JetBrains products, to be fair.
- jacobush 11y agoJetbrains really is great. It's like Eclipse, without the bugs and faster. For Python, nothing beats Wings IDE. Both proprietary tho.
- criddell 11y agoYou prefer Wings over PyCharm?
- shaneofalltrad 11y agoI have the same question, what makes wings better than pycharm?
- timrichard 11y agoDefinitely worth a try... On two recent jobs, I used my regular WebStorm IDE but was also required to use VS for certain tasks. I much preferred the Jetbrains IDE, and I don't think it's just down to familiarity as I would seek out equivalent workflows in VS.

- shmerl 11y agoKDevelop is quite good.
- appleflaxen 11y agoI love kdevelop
- mixmastamyk 11y agoOthers have mentioned the heavyweights, so thought I'd like to mention a lightweight favorite of mine that is getting better every release: Geany.
- krisdol 11y agoThere is so much wrong with this comment, I don't understand how it's being up votes. Never heard of a Linux IDE? Hard core Linux user but never been able to even navigate vim?
- technomancy 11y agoDrRacket and Zerobrane are both extremely high-quality, though not general-purpose.
