State of CIDER Survey 2019
- jcadam 7y agoI like Cursive (and IntelliJ), but I switched to emacs/CIDER (with lsp for java development) mostly because of the licensing. I don't mind buying stuff for myself, but getting employers in my industry to cough up for development tools is problematic. Some will do it, most won't. So I needed to find a free set of tools - so I could have a consistent environment between work and home. Emacs works for any programming language (albeit some better than others), and is usually already installed (or can be installed locally w/o root). And putting my .emacs.d in github makes it easy to keep my config consistent between environments. > ...people who were working in corporate environments were really suffering, because they couldn’t upgrade the software on their machines. This part is definitely true. My former employer was just starting to migrate from RHEL/CentOS 6 to 7 last year :/
