OP is litereally ranting about people using text editors for tasks that IDEs excell at, and you are suggesting another text editor.
- gatherhunterer 7y agoVSCode has out-of-the-box support for JS and TS including autocomplete, visual debugging and variable definition lookup. VSCode is an IDE.
- _bxg1 7y agoVSCode markets itself as a text editor, but really it's an IDE, especially if you're using TypeScript.
- lonelappde 7y agoVScode calls itself a Code Editor, not text editor
- rco8786 7y agoVSCode is way closer to IDE than text editor on that spectrum
- michaelmrose 7y agoBy that definition Emacs is also an ide just in a kit you spend a few hours putting together.
- Aeolun 7y agoVS code qualifies as an IDE for React. Just not a very good one. Most things can be solved with plugins though.
- fgonzag 7y agoSo nobody can give the opposing view point? I use both IDEs and Text Editors depending on the language. I use jetbrains for kotlin/java, and moved from vim to vscode for javascript and any other scripting language (also switched from VS to VSCode for .net) I find developers who try to force their tools on others annoying. I'm much more productive on scripting languages with an editor. They just feel more responsive.
- justsid 7y agoOf course you can disagree with that! I have written great amounts of all sorts of projects in text editors instead of an IDE. And yes, text editors come in different flavours. VS Code/Sublime Text isn’t the same as Notepad. That being said, the person I replied didn’t make a case of VS Code in any way. The OP asked what to use instead of a text editor like Sublime Text, and the reply was simply “Just use VS Code”. That’s not an argument in any way, that’s just a statement.
