I don’t have to offer my soul to make it work just pay money ;)
- kstrauser 5mo ago> I imagine that just way more work was poured into VS/Jetbrains debuggers I'm fascinated at how vastly different our perspectives are. From my POV, I'd be shocked if VS/Jetbrains had a fraction of the work poured into them that Emacs or Vim have.
- delta_p_delta_x 5mo agoVS and JetBrains IDEs have very good sane defaults. They're usable out of the box. In VS I load a .sln file, or a project containing CMakeLists.txt, press F5, and I am debugging with a full-fledged data structure visualisation, CPU and heap profiling, and I can even add in time-travel debugging with a couple of clicks. I have to manually set all of this up in Vim or Emacs, and frankly the debugging experience in GDB or LLDB is worse than it really ought to be. People actually need to use good tools to understand how nice things can be.
- pjmlp 5mo agoTry to debug a CMake file, do hot code reloading for C++, or debug release binaries with Emacs/vim. Just three examples out of many others.
- lenkite 5mo agoI think you need to try the Jetbrains debugger first - anyone who has used it would never compare it with neovim or emacs.
