"Out of curiosity, what is it about an IDE that you find useful...?"
I really don't understand this question. It is like asking "What is it about SolidWorks that you find so useful"
- bbor 2y agoWell solid works does things the command line can’t. After all these amazing answers, my main takeaways for “what can an IDE do better than terminal+text editor” are: 1. Debugging right in the code, rather than in an ugly terminal copy of the code next to it (sounds nice!) 2. Better semantic features in language-specific IDEs (autocomplete, refactoring, etc). Certainly those things sound nice, but I hope you see how they’re not essential!
