Goodbye VS Code

those are local changes compared to git, while the yellow highlighting defines opening and closing HTML elements

"UI is ugly" well there are themes and you can customize the font, font size, leading and so much more right from the settings or press shift twice on your keyboard and type what you are looking for. "warning for commit" You can turn that off in the commit settings. I open my commit messages as a dialog, not on the left side like you, but in the dialog, you can uncheck 'analyze code' and whatever else to not get those warnings. Or, again, press shift twice in your keyboard, and type what you want.

WebStorm is terrible.

switch to Vim is your best free Option, it never goes out of fashion

I gave up Eclipse for VSCode primarily because I no longer code in Java. I think it is great. Even if I get another Java project I’ll continue to use it.

Ws is paid i still prefer vscode

It's ok but Webstorm is $159.00 per user per year. I use VS Codium for JS and Sublime Text for Python.

Jetbrain are great but the prices…..

My first impressionss on vscode. pop-up madness. updates, hints, and recommendations that turn out to be mandatory asking me literally if i "want this?" - without telling me anything. But allows me to answer "yes" and "never ask me again". i dunno man. its just rude. with a strong flavor of dark patterns. i will not tolerate this. asides that the whole integration of extensions and embedded toolchainss is ...unstable, anything but robust (volatility is a bastard) - not usable. a prime example of fail design. it maybe inappropriate to say but i feel like this thing is made by rookie frontend devs that completly misunderstand the domain they are targetting. But wait theres more ...

Every IDE has its own pros and cons but the reason I choose IntelliJ is I'm an Android developer so when I go to web development the experience is the same.
The feature the most i really like in IntelliJ Idea is you can open a code with the specific commit without switching your current code

WebStorm - the IDE for people who love VSCode but want to pay for it.

I think a code quality tool to find duplicated code, better idioms, etc. is the biggest feature VSCode lacks and I suspect its push to get everyone hooked on CoPilot is going to lead to more duplicated unless CoPilot is somehow aware it has written identical code for you mod some parameters.

Great, clear, usefull 👍

So webstorm is just for Javascript. I'll take a look when they can do C/C++

The problem is... You need buy PhpStorm for PHP, WebStorm for JS , PyCharm for Python, so now you into $700+ bucks a year, compare zero for VScode and develop in all three. Go figure...

You are not enough smart so it clearly is an ad :) VS Code is the best.

Big OOF on moving away from VSCode. Dude went to JetBrains bloatware. Sorry man but unless your stuck in the early 2000s writing PHP code, there's 0 reason to work in any Jetbrains IDE. VSCode just does everything better and has a much larger ecosystem. It's like saying I want to write code in the worst possible fashion but I don't want to use vim so what's the 2nd worst.

The best alternative is VSCodium and is free and fast.

VSCode allows you to create projects for any platform and language, instead of buying 15 different IDEs and endlessly customizing them, today you write code in Python, tomorrow in C for microcontrollers, the day after tomorrow you write an interface in Qt and write scripts in Bash, the use of special IDEs becomes in hell.

damn man
I wish you luck with indexing bugs

I use paid Pycharm. I don't mind paying 70 bucks a year for hundreds of hours it saves me. And I don't like spending time on customizing editors and downloading plugins.

Yes, Jetbrains IDE’s and other tools are the most productive, advanced, and well-supported solutions out there. As an AI developer I use their PyCharm IDE.

What you do with all the extensions? Can you still use the same or not possible?

try MUI with TS and look into memory consumption in WS. It's horrible.

I actually like the Jetbrains UI much more. Somehow the containers have this isolated feel to them. There are little details, of minor shadows, border colors, fonts, etc. In some regards I got the same feeling from Sublime also, but in VSCode (I'm forced to work in this on my current project), even though I could set it up pretty easy to work like WebStorm, the UI feels like a mess. It's like a big newspaper with all these containers and really hard to switch focus between them as they flow into each other too smoothly. I never understood this 100% race on "nice looks" concept for my editor. It has to be practical too, not just beautiful.

In VS Code now you can log in and save all configurations (plugins etc), and if you install new instance somewhere - you can sync anything. So maybe switch again to VS Code?

Bla bla bla bla bla bla.

I tried to switch to vs code a few times but after that, I realized that webstorm is much better
I especially like that feature with unused class methods or unused code in the large project it helps me a lot to refactor some old code.
And the killer feature is the git conflict resolver it is just better than in vs code.
What I don't like in webstorm is the themes. It is hard to find a nice one

Just debating on which to use for mobile app dev. I really think that things like customization, and obtaining extensions, and all these things that humans are plagued with through their obsessive compulsive tendencies will be absorbed by AI very shortly. Therefore, Webstorm seems the logical choice of making working, a higher priority than obsessing over nitty gritty OCD details a golden rule to productivity. Best practice in Software Engineering will be absorbed by AI. Just how it will be.

I am agree, sad point there that we spent much time in all that "awesome" configurations, and most of them we're not using at all..

Webstorm? no thanks!

I've been using Sublime Text for the past couple of years. I tried PyCharm, Code, Atom, and a bunch of other editors for Python. I even tried Webstorm. It is a great editor, but I am retired and only write code for my own amazement and amusement and I don't want to pay for it. I am writing an app in Flask, and I need something better suited to Python, HTML, JS, and CSS. I am warming up to VC Code, again, and it's looking better and better.

I just want a good editor that allows you to run code, autocompletes stuff, and DOES'NT DRAIN BATTERY

this idiot compares a free tool to a paid one

you will get sick of having to relearn vim and how clunky it is and will return to a modern IDE 100%....also have fun forever configuring vim to run like you want it to, time well wasted.

Haha 😂 look at all the vscode users getting defensive.

Shitty clickbait. Good thing I found you, I can ignore the channel now.

About the settings, you can sync them in the cloud when you login.

Как можно сравнивать бесплатный инструмент и иде по подписке?

Well in VS Code, I had to install various plugins just to get the same experience I get when using Jetbrains IDE. One annoying problem is when these extensions start conflicting with each other like shortcuts suddenly stop working because another extension has the same shortcut or Prettier suddenly is not formatting the way it used to because the other extension messes with it. Sometimes you can fix the issue in the settings but sometimes not. Also it happens on multiple occasions where my global user snippets disappear when on a different workspace even though it worked on multiple different workspaces before. On the other hand, I like Jetbrains being opinionated. Sometimes it would hint at me that my code can be refactored. Like nothing better when your few lines of code can be refactored into something like "!!variable" or when selecting an element and it tells me that it's not performance efficient with the way I'm doing it and suggests a better way.

Edit: One thing I like most with jetbrains IDEs is the Intellisense. It just does it way better. With VS code, you had to install an extension and even the extension is just lacking (in the case of PHP).

I use Intellij because it gives me access to Goland and Pycharm, 100% agree with you, having everything ready to work is a bless (I use it for ansible and other stuff), just love it!

Well… the main point of having extensions instead of stuff built in, is to have the possibility of having your editor as light as possible, free of features you don’t use/need...

VIM all day everyday, from day one. No one can show me anything better than VIM.

you spared us the important information, that you just code JavaScript
if you ever grow up - meaning you start using more mature programming languages with the need for a mature IDE, sticking to VS Code would be much wise :)

VS Code workspaces is invaluable to me.

Jetbrains provides amazing stuff

I had the same discovery a few years ago when I got InteliJ ultimate free annually on the github student dev pack. I was working with Vue at the moment, and was diehard on VScode, but some of the features that jetbrains had I simply couldn't figure out how to configure in VScode. The number one being something that you demonstrated partially with the tailwind support, but simply the fact that you could type something like "var(-" and see the entire variable list from your css files while inside the scoped component styles. I've tried to figure out how to do this on VScode after, but ultimately failed... (not smart enough, I guess?) it was such a nice feature. Also Vue support is simply better, VScode has 2 different conflicting plugins for vue2 vs vue3.

You're moving to a $150/year subscription because you don't want to think about your editor? I've used VSCode for a few years now. Apart from setting the theme, font and a couple other things, I rarely---if ever---adjust the settings. Only if a default is patently annoying, which is rare. Did they comp you for this product placement?

Nope. Can't beat Microsoft on this one. Plus you know there is visual studio express. And if you are going to pay for it get visual studio . I mean you are comparing a free ide vs one you are paying for if I'm correct. Compare the diagnostic tools on VS
