Looks just like VS Code and I think it’s still built on electron so take that as you will.
I’ll wait and see if they manage to get embedded system debugging to work properly. What I’ve seen in the past has been a pain in the you-know-what in that regard, showing clearly that their main focus was PCs.
Eclipse
Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
Will probably need to check this out.
VS code is trash so not much of a challenge there
Wouldn’t call it trash but personally after trying it a couple times it seemed like it took as long to config as neovim while also not being nearly as hackable (probably is more extensible though being a GUI). For that amount of time I’d rather use something with larger benefits like an IDE
I’m a die hard Microsoft hater. I haven’t had windows installed on a pc in years. With that being said I use visual studio code because it’s kind of the only text editor that does code completion in the capacity that it does. I can take a class name, type a “.” after it and a scroll view opens up shows every accessible member of that class along with comments and information about all the variables. The amount of time this saves is so huge I don’t even know how you would quantify it. Nothing else has code completion that even comes close to being that good.
Do non visual studio code users just have to memorize every single function, parameter and return type in their code base? Yeah you can always read the documentation, sure you can always dig through the source code to figure it out every time you forget what data type a parameter is but that takes valuable time.
If they ever put visual studio code behind a paywall or stop making it for Linux, I’m going to be forced to either switch to windows (which I never will under any circumstances) or make a custom made ripoff clone of that entire intellisense code completion system and hack it into whichever open source text editor I deem is the next best thing.
Any editor that support LSP has the same (or better) auto complete. All IDEs also have the same (or better) auto complete, don’t even need LSP.
Vim does code completion just fine if you set up your language server correctly.
I wonder where JetBrains Fleet is at, too.
I am happy there is more competition against VS Code. But I already have my forever-editor (Neovim).
I believe fleet is still in preview. I’m not a power user so I can’t tell you how it compares to VS Code.
