What's your favorite IDE right now? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I use vscode for my personal projects (c++ and a fully open source stack, compiling for both Linux and Windows).

I'm using the proprietary version of vscode (via the aur) for the plugin repository, but I've always envied the open source version...

Are there any tools that have made you excited?

Bonus points if they have some support for compiling with MSVC (or if you can convince me to ditch it for something else).

@rklm Rider or any #JetBrains IDE honestly. They're just too good compared to the alternatives I've tried and cheaper too.

I had some coworkers a long time ago who swore by jetbrains, but I've never tried it. Maybe I should give it a shot!

Using a new IDE is always a painful undertaking TBF.

I switch from visual studio to rider in order to better support my co-workers on macs. And I have never looked back, it's just too damn good.

Though, the settings for exceptions and when to break are never right for me. While VS has it right, right out of the box.

You should! I liked it when I used it.
