I'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.
- azinman2 11y agoHonestly none of those are very good. The UX, speed, stability, etc is lacking. Eclipse is ok if you're only doing Java (and was good 10 years ago, but the UX is irrelevant today), but sucks for everything else. IntelliJ is the only one do better support other languages but it too is quite clunky, and I use it regularly. Sublime is not on the verge of becoming an IDE, nor any of those other ones. There are way too many missing features and constructors for this to happen, and I also regularly use it and prefer it as my text editor. I haven't used any of the VS products extensively but I know they have a good reputation. I hope Microsoft could make it amazing for all languages and all platforms. Sounds good to me! Please just make a reasonable replacement for Xcode! (Jetbrains is terrible)
- gtaylor 11y agoJetbrains IDEs are highly regarded and run very well under Linux.
- smacktoward 11y agoHighly regarded? Absolutely. Run very well under Linux? I dunno about that part. I run PHPStorm on a workstation with 16GB of RAM and it still huffs and puffs on occasion when doing stuff like indexing files or running their Intellisense-alike. It's fine, I can live with it, but it's not exactly "wow, this thing really flies!" performance.
- shaneofalltrad 11y agoI agree, use Pycharm, Webstorm and PHPStorm(rarely these days) on all of my Ubuntu laptops with no issues except when doing things any IDE would slow on, due to the background activity(your cpu) out of the control of the Software.
- odonnellryan 11y agoI love Jetbrains products, but under Linux they are nowhere near as stable as VS is on Windows, or even Jetbrains apps on Windows. They're slower, and some features don't quite work right all the time.
- DHJSH 11y agoAre you seriously comparing Eclipse to Visual Studio? I use both of them. Eclipse for CUDA programming, Visual Studio for everything else. There's no comparison. Eclipse is a buggy heap of crud. Visual Studio just works.
- tracker1 11y agoAs much as I like VS, depending on the plugins you need, when working in web projects it can get funky to frustrating... on a system with plenty of RAM and an SSD, it's very nice. I do more node these days, and so far I like VSC best of the editors I've tried.
- duaneb 11y agoOf all those, jetbrains is the only company pushing the envelope in terms of productivity and tooling. It's a common meme that Visual Studio is an IDE wet dream. Is it really so hard to see?
