I have read all the comments on this thread.
I'm fascinated by people's thoughts of VSC Vs JetBrains.
It seems the consensus is that JB is better, except for web platform?
Maybe this is because TypeScript is an excellent language server

- hbn 4y agoThe only thing that matters to me is JetBrains stuff seems to actually understand my code. i.e. it never fails to be able to jump me to references if I cmd+click a symbol, it's never messed up an automatic refactor (like a variable rename or something), etc. And it just works out of the box. I've never been able to configure VS Code to work in a way that's anywhere approaching intelligent. Maybe there's a way but I don't want to be messing with plugins and settings. And every time I've tried I just get frustrated and give up. I keep it installed for quick one-off text editing cause it launches faster than JB, but Fleet might just replace it for that usecase now.
- mmastrac 4y agoVSCode is still best for anything that isn't Android development, IMO. The C/C++, Rust, JS/TS integrations in VSCode have been amazing for me. IntelliJ is a battery killer, but VSCode is something I can run on a plane or in a cafe without a power cord.
- no_wizard 4y agoI don't know if it even wins there, to be honest. I'd say they're on par if anything, with a slight edge to JetBrains, as they have better support built-in vs needing plugins. I'm a long time JetBrains user though, so I admit upfront I may have some bias here.
