I use VS code as my main code editor and it seem to be the most popular in my bubble.<p>I am generally happy with with but curious if there are better alternatives that would offer a more productive experience. Curious in particular about WebStorm and Nova.<p>Any code editors that you are in particular satisfied with?<p>I do my dev work on a Mac, mainly web development. I generally like to keep my code editor config maintenance minimal.
I've used many IDEs... VS Code, VS, Eclipse, etc. (and use Macs exclusively)... end of the day, I swear by any of the JetBrains offerings (IntelliJ, WebStorm, etc). They are definitely more complicated, but they really are a true "development environment". Learning all the features is just something that comes with time, but it is honestly worth it. It's awesome having a space to work in that I never have to actually leave.
Vim with a near vscode set of plugins <a href="https://github.com/danhab99/dotfiles/blob/master/.vimrc" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/danhab99/dotfiles/blob/master/.vimrc</a> . I keep getting weird looks from my boss about my vim, but I produce.
I like vim.<p>But it has a steep learning curve. It might not be the thing you're looking for as it is very different (but not less) than VS code.
There is Sublime Text which is quite nice.<p>Vim if you want to grow a beard (just kidding). It's quite powerful and can be turned into a complete IDE.<p>As a teenager, I used Geany on Linux, it was quite nice and the first editor I used with an integrated terminal.
If you're a Mac Web Developer, check out Nova by Panic. <a href="https://nova.app/" rel="nofollow">https://nova.app/</a>
