If you know enough and are comfortable writing make files for compilation a text editor is good enough. You can use plugins for extra bells and whistles you want. But yea, if you're a Windows dev and just want to quickly get a C++ program written and compiled Visual Studio will save you time and give you decent tools to get the job done. Whereas if you're a Linux user, enjoy using the terminal, writing scripts and customising things you can use VIM and make a hobby out of getting it just how you like.

Bad take on emacs, emacs allows extensibility that no other editor offers. Especially with org-mode, emacs turns into a powerhouse of possibilities. Note taking, writing, planning, etc are just a few things emacs enables alongside powerful packages to make your coding experience much more simple. The vim take I understand on the surface, however vim bindings are very useful for every programmer and system administrator to learn. On top of making you much faster at writing code, vi is standard on almost all systems today outside of windows and macos (iirc). If nano isn't available you could be stuck with vi. And neovim today is becoming extremely powerful, even challenging the capabilities of emacs in the long run I believe, all while being extremely fast and lightweight.

Using emacs is GOAT: - Note editing - LSP for languages - Debugger - Tree Sitter highlighting - Fast fuzzy finders - Perfect project management - Amazing terminal multiplexer - great extensibility - Org mode / Org roam for knowledge management, todos and calendar. - And not as high of a learning curve as VIM if you use distros like Doom Emacs

[@marcossidoruk8033]

Nvim nowadays has builtin LSP support, builtin Treesitter support, the best fuzzy finder plugins, etc. And it is thus much easier to configure than Emacs, you can literally get mason wich is a LSP+debugger+linter+formatter package manager in 3 lines of lua code and with 20 copy-paste lines of code or so cobfigure automatic setup for all of that. And what you say for doom Emacs is 100x truer for a nvim distro like lunar vim that has literally everything by default. Emacs is literally a glorified lisp Interpreter, it doesn't even try to be a text editor, only the community make it great but easier than vim? Hell no. Its also not faster not more efficient, nothing, if you like it you like it but be objective. And don't even get me started on how awful that language is compared to lua.

I use VSCodium. It's a FOSS version of VSCode, without Microsoft's spyware

[@tigerbojiteol]

No PyCharm in this list?

[@ConnerArdman]

This is just code editors, not IDEs.

I use Vim for pretty much everything these days. It’s very customizable.

[@darynej]

I just started coding and I use notepad. 😅 that’s why I’m scouring the Internet for the best IDE/code editor for beginners

[@w1z4rd9]

Customized(w/Plugins) VScode and Notepad++ (lightweight and viewing)

Visual studio joins the chat

Atom is closest to emacs with its ease of configurability , and emacs is still improving and being updated

[@arturorochoa9359]

Thats a fair placement for emacs. Emacs takes a while to configure from vanilla

The GOATs are those who code with NOTE FRICKEN PAD 😎

Atom is/was great! I recently switched to Pulsar, a fork of Atom before it’s sunsetting. They even host all the extensions!

If you are in the workforce VS Code is the defacto standard as you are likley would have to use it if your employer useses it. This is especially true for companies software management system is managed by SCCM.

Emacs rules in customizability, surpassing even vim. It perfectly suits the user who have seen a lot and know what they like. It's like building your first house after living in many that were already standing, enduring the limitations of remodeling and learning what works for you and what doesn't. It takes effort that is well rewarded at the end. E. g. I love vim style navigation, project dir awareness goodies, solid LSP support and some other things. Vim's slightly less polished plugin ecosystem and terminal-only UI (gvim is a glorified terminal fyi) at the time was the only reason I switched. Additionally, compared to all the others, vim and emacs let you make your whole config a single file that is easy to maintain.

I'm JetBrains baby, but it's an IDE. In terms of code editors, I fully agree, nothing beats Atom for me - VSC is more popular and thus has more plugins, but in the same time is somehow putting me off, I don't know why. Atom in the other hand feels like safe home, it is just such a joy to work with it
