I love the jetbrains toolbox. I do unity development with Rider, Android development with Android studio, web development with webstorm, python automation and ai learning with pycharm, java development with idea and I use it as diff/merge tool like the author (additionally you can toggle blame mode, which shows you the last person who edited the individual lines, at what time and with a color coding that highlights recent changes).
Having a familiar user interface for all these IDEs and on top of that available on Mac, Linux and Windows won me over. I started with Rider for unity since I mostly use macOS and Monodevelop did not spark joy (vs for Mac didn’t exist yet and I prefer the user experience of the jetbrains IDEs).
- gloggy 8y agoYep, this describes me too. I work on multiple OSs, in multiple languages and I use everything from CLion to WebStorm. The interfaces are consistent on each OS, all the commands are the same, and while not the fastest IDEs in the world, my dev machines are good enough that I can run them comfortably. I think good IDEs make me more productive. I find the whole "you're only a good programmer if you program in ed" line to be really disingenuous.
- arcturus17 8y agoI do Java with IntelliJ and everything else with VSCode but I’m about to switch everything to IntelliJ. Microsoft has done a tremendous job with VSCode - I’m particularly amazed at how fast it’s risen - but honestly every time I switch between Idea and Code I miss the former.
