I have to agree with this. If only ruby or python had such a powerful development environment (sigh). There's simply nothing in the open source community that rivals the beautiful, simple power of that IDE and language combination. Tools matter when you're trying to ship code.
- petepete 15y agoThe beauty of Ruby and Python is that you aren't restricted to an IDE in order to use them; I wouldn't enjoy using them if I was. I like to choose my own tools. This isn't quite so easy when using an all-encompassing (and platform specific) IDE like Visual Studio. I use tmux (with tmuxinator), with windows for my editor, shell, debugger, source control, logs. I'm able to, effortlessly, change any part of it.
- krallja 15y agoI'm not sure what this means. Are you saying it is impossible to write C# code without the IDE? If so, my .vimrc would like to have a few words with you.
- petepete 15y agoYou can write code in vim, yes. Do you debug it there too? Didn't think so. You use a separate debugging tool (or clewn, if you're a masochist). And a separate source control client (possibly wrapped in a vim plugin like fugitive). And a shell. Effectively you (like me) have probably put together your own set of tools that perform the functions of a IDE.
- tesmar 15y agoI used the Vim/Ruby combo for a long time but RubyMine pushed me from Vim to an IDE again (they aren't always bad).
- petepete 15y agoTo be fair, having just had a good look at RubyMine, it looks very good.
- justncase80 15y agoAgreed, a good IDE goes a long way to make up for the sins of the language.
- cr4zy 15y agoPycharm is as powerful as Visual Studio IMHO. I love both of these IDE's.
