No, I do not.
Xcode is also native (although not very pretty), but it is a horrible IDE. I use Sublime for my ObjC coding, although I am forced to use Xcode for some things that ST cannot do, like adding files to a project, editing compilation flags or working with .xib and Core Data .momd files.
It's a compromise. IDEA is too ugly to use, Sublime lacks some features but is great in most areas.
- encoderer 14y agoNot to debate you, because hey, it's your perogative. But I want to just ask this though and give you the last word with it: Given that many of the features you're talking about actually do exist in IntelliJ, etc, doesn't that mean that yes, you are sacrificing function for form?
- lobster_johnson 14y agoYes, it's a compromise. It's not all about function, or all about form. If ST is 90% beautiful, and IDEA is 0% beautiful, then I will choose Sublime even if it's 5% less functional. There are other factors at play such as speed; Sublime is lightning fast, IDEA is not. And afaik, IDEA does not support Sublime-style multiple carets.
- cytzol 14y agoIt really depends on what you're doing. For me (Java), IDEA is about 50% beautiful but 500% functional, and that's what leaves me with it.
