I mean things like: Photoshop, Blender, video editing software, MuseScore, Ableton, etc. And of course, text editors / IDEs :P
> If I'm using a word processor, it's because I want someone else to be able to read and, quite often, contribute to what I'm creating.
Well, the vast majority of things I write, I write by myself. When I have to collaborate I (begrudgingly :)) use Overleaf / Google Docs.
- nexuist 5y agoIsn't VS Code the most popular IDE currently?
- SilverRed 5y agoMost likely. It's not the best IDE but it is likely the best free one. Out of the box VS Code is pretty much good to go while others are either paid or take a lot of config. I have attempted to use vim but I just can't be bothered working out how to turn it in to VS code. If I have to decide between multiple ways to install plugins with their own tradeoffs, its already too much work when vs code just works.
- goatlover 5y agoEmacs is also free :-)
- tsimionescu 5y agoSure, as a local app that happens to use Electron instead of Qt. How is that relevant?
- brabel 5y agoNo. At least according to this: https://pypl.github.io/IDE.html https://pypl.github.io/IDE.html 1. Visual Studio 2. Eclipse 3. VS Code
- kyberias 5y agoIt's a code editor, not an IDE. ;)
- golergka 5y agoWith current state of the plugins, this distinction no longer makes any sense.
- Normal_gaussian 5y agoPhotopea is a browser based photoshop; it is very good. VS Code is an electron based IDE, also very good (and there are various web variants as well). There was some kind of high quality online video editor my old landlord (who has a small video production company) used to edit 4k video with his macbook air. I don't know about audio, though I suspect there are more than a few options - yet probably less than for everything else, I'm not sure how good those physical device interfaces are now. Aa for 3D stuff; it looks like solid works have some kind of cloud platform. How much of the workstation load is there I don't know.
- verinus 5y agoI for one would not call VS Code an IDE. Too many features missing imho...
- RugnirViking 5y agosuch as? it has step-through debugging, automatic code building + running, source control integration. What else?
- stjohnswarts 5y agoI'm guessing elisp...
- joeberon 5y agoThose are not productivity applications, they are all tailored to specific purposes. The only one that I can say might be considered a productivity application is text editors/IDEs, but even then it's tenuous. No one is going to call Blender or Ableton a productivity application
