when, exactly?
in the 90s-2000s they were always a poor imitation of Borland's
and from the 2010s to today JetBrain's tools blow them out of the water
- _gabe_ 4y agoTypescript is ranked number 4 according to Github statistics in 2022[0]. VSCode is also very popular. I couldn't find any good statistics comparing different text editors, but atom is sunsetting this year, and VSCode continues to grow as some anecdotal evidence. Visual Studio is still a great IDE for C++ imo. CLion is the only other big IDE for C++ that I've had suggested often. C# is ranked #9 in github usage[0]. I would consider these "great developer tech", and their popularity seems to confirm that. Edit: DirectX is also a pretty big deal since afaik it's the only way you can make an Xbox game. I don't have enough experience to say whether DX is great developer tech or not though. I often hear how horrible Metal is more often than I hear negativity about DX, but that's just my experience.

- blibble 4y agosee, I buy popular but great? absolutely not and as someone who's uses both: VS without Resharper is still a decade behind Jetbrains' IDEs
- pjmlp 4y agoOnly for Java, for C++, .NET and GPGPU programming? Not really. And even Java it is debatable, since JetBrains would rather sell CLion licenses than support some of the stuff Netbeans and Eclipse have been doing for 15 years regarding mixing Java and C++ development on the same source base. When is InteliJ going to have an incremental Java compiler by the way?
