What is a modern IDE? It seems like the more recent trend has moved away from bloated IDEs and more to a bring your editor and own plugins environment. From my perspective IDEs lost and things are now closer to how Vim users have been coding for decades.
- krab 4y agoIt doesn't seem so to me. With LSP, those editors, including Vim, can be very large and featureful. A modern (or any) IDE, in my opinion, can debug your code, push parts of the editor into REPL (with debugging), understand code for things like autocomplete, linting, quick navigation and usage search. And yes, Vim can serve as a modern IDE if you spend enough time with it.
- mrits 4y agoIt seems like you start out by disagreeing and then just give a summary of why you don't need an IDE.
- krab 4y agoI'm saying the trend (IMHO) is not away from a full blown IDE and that smaller editors with plugins and LSP can fill the the role as well, including the resource consumption. Vim can be very slow with a ton of plugins.
- mrits 4y agoThey not only can fill the role, they do fill it, and have been for longer and better than IDEs.
