Best Code Editor? | Programming Tier List 

damn I can smell the roast 😂

Not their problem

You literally can remove bg inline in 1 minute

Yeah good editor that’s not supported anymore love them bugs / vul

It's so great it's no longer supported. That should speak volumes to anyone with a brain. LOL.

It works well with my adhd so I dont go "oh colored buttons this looks interesting" and fail to actually do anything

I DO

I wad working with notepad++, i don't know if there is some codes in js it can't operate it or not if its bad please tell me if the were a big difference between it and vs code or they are nearly the same??

​@@1samurai192just try vs code

fr

😂😂

This doesn't make any sense.

Lmao

Plain HTML ans CSS is literally the only thing I've ever used Atom for lmaooo. I switched to VSCode for everything outside of .NET and Java.

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.

Wait til you see his language tier list 😂

why would you say that?

@@DanialGhofrani He put Atom, a code editor that is no longer maintained and pretty much stuck in 2015 over legendary editors which have strong support in open source and dev communities. Just shows he is out of touch.

@@narekasadorian After VSCode stepped it up and offered devcontainers, making development across systems extremely freakin easy and reduces the "it works on my machine" syndrome, VSCode took a solid lead. Yeah you can do something similar with other editors, but Atom is one of those that does not..

@@narekasadorian Atom is now called Pulsar Edit and is being developed by the community.

lmao. I had a sense that HTML is not really coding but I didn't think everyone else felt the same way

@@jeremiahfink5440 You are correct but its not just a 'feeling', literally, HTML is not a programming language. It's a markup language (as the name implies), the same is true for XML, JSON and CSS

It's open source and doesn't bug you to pay them every 5 minutes 🤷‍♂️

​​@@ConnerArdman it also seemingly doesn't exist outside of Windows, so that biases this list quite a bit. Here's a cross-platform suggestion: Kate from the KDE suite exists on Windows & Mac too, ships with KDE linux distros, and is pretty feature-rich with LSP support and all. Don't even recall Notepad++ having that! You could also try KDevelop which, again, exists on all platforms, and sounds more like a code editor. The experience is probably close to Kate, but I've honestly never given it a real shot so THAT would be interesting!

This is how I prefer to code as well. They just don’t make code editors like they used to 🤝

really programmers use butterflies

Genius, and here I was using lightning rods. My productivity will skyrocket!

No, Real programmers use their brain to generate electricity and also they control the electricity from their brain and code anything

@@ConnerArdman real programmers spend billions on a chip manufacturing plant building Soc's and pirating american megatrends firmware

💀

True story: as a kid learning Java, I tried opening some JAR file from the JDK in MS Word and found much of the source code for the java.lang package. It taught me a lot.

This physically hurt me. Good job.

Microsoft word isn't used for coding

and how could you forget "The notebook"

I’d prefer to not discontinue my career 😂 Greatest of all time != greatest today. Almost every sports GOAT is retired. Nearly all my favorite video games are no longer supported. My favorite TV show was cancelled. This would be true for more lists than not. Obviously I’m not using Atom anymore, but it worked significantly better for my personal workflow than VSCode ever did, regardless of it being sunset.

@@ConnerArdman You got a point, I can't argue that! GOAT reply.

​@@ShiloBuff yall made such a good point then simped over the OP losing all respect. The analogy of games and shows used isn't even good as its comparing a tool with a finished product.

​@@uimbtw6300 Your menality is the issue. I was simply making a joke and trying not to have a confrontation. It's better off being friendly and fun. I don't simp over anyone and don't seek for any validation. I respect that he continued my joke and then gave a reason to argue my statement. Take your disrespect elsewhere.

​​​​@@uimbtw6300maybe I'm missing it but... Unfinished products: TV shows who can go on forever with new seasons, software with unlimited updates. Finished products: discontinued TV shows, discontinued software. The analogy is quite clear to me, just because something is discontinued doesn't mean it didn't manage to get all the properties of being an all-time favorite.

Agreed

NERRDDDDD

​@@colin398 afex tween

Exactly, this is code editor, not OS 😂

Yea, with emacs, if I want to optimise my workflow, I can do it easily Great exanple of the blub paradox

The same..then switched to vscode

The only reason I ditched Atom because it was getting slower. It sort of became bucket at a time.

same…I use VS Code now but I miss Atom

It was in Microsofts interest that you switch to vscode since they owned 2 competing products and wanted to get rid of atom sooner or later. So you can ask yourself the real reason Atom started getting much slower...

I know… recent versions (before the sunset) were really slow for me. I never really used it - I only use vs code now

The atom was discontinued a few billion years ago

IntelliJ, WebStorm?

@西格 I recently downloaded webstorm so I'll have to explore it more. I have pycharm and had a free trial for rubymine. I love working with both for their respective languages, so hopefully webstorm will be just as good. Just don't wanna have to pay to use it, especially since I'm not confident in my web dev skills

​@@user-to6kw6ef5eIntellij for web!? But yes i use WebStorm and Intellij for minecraft plugins

Pulsar

For Java sure, though it has its quirks as well. VSCode is imo best general purpose editor

Neovim

@@Roma-kg9ld I would take their other IDEs over VSCode too. WebStorm and PyCharm are fantastic

This is a comparison of text editors but I do agree. I learned on Eclipse and was so happy to one day be able to afford a JetBrains license and get IntelliJ. JetBrains DataGrib is also unmatched in my opinion but you can definitely get away with using DBeaver for free if you don’t want to pay.

​@@NathanHedglinneovim is chad

Also you can try it out for free and a perpetual license isn't expensive at all, one time payment...

​@@stysner4580 still not open source. Which may not matter to you, and sure go ahead, put a bunch of uncheckable untrustable binary blobs on your work machine, I'm not your mom. But I'm pretty sure there are open-source text editors that are just better in literally every way.

@@ilonachan calm down Paranoia Peter.

He probably doesn't work in Python, so possibly doesn't even know about it. But that's why it would've been important to specify what languages we're talking about here, instead of pretending this is a list of "code editors" that's completely language-agostic.

Pycharm is a IDE not a code editor.

No cap, my uni professor specifically asked us not to use IDE and only use notepad to write C. It wasn’t fun but I learned a lot doing that way.

I unironically learned HTML and CSS in notepad. I learned most of it in like 1 weekend and It never really occurred to me to use any other program. I eventually tried others like Notepad++, atom and VScode but it just felt weird coming from a notepad.

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.

Have already used neovim 1 year with all of these and it was great. The maturity of the plugins, GUI and org mode/roam where the things that made me switch. Both are 🔥

​@@marcossidoruk8033 but can your editor replace your desktop environment?

vscode has all of this.

@@lmnts556I love running memeory hogging JS Electorn apps that report back to Microsoft

It's extremely fast

It is not a code editor

​@@MrYbs-ie1jjwhat

Can't see how that's any easier than anything else xd

Those emacs guys are legends.

IntelliJ is great for Java, Kotlin, and some other stuff, but VSCode is definitely an IDE by every metric, also the GOAT for Webdev

@@Kofferino surprisingly I have started using intellj for everything including webdev.If you have premium version which is free for student you can do anything like webdev,python etc on intellj itself rather than downloading their counterparts like pycharm. And intellj does provide better features than vscode like git support is much better in intellj as an example

​@@Kofferino your editor runs inside a browser, my editor runs a browser and is a desktop environment.

@@Kofferino VS Code is not an IDE just a text editor. Visual Studio is an IDE. There is a difference like Master Light mentions.

​@@masterlight7058 also if your comfy with sly/slime you can manip a separate browser+separate DE process

it has the worst of both sublimtext and vscode

You actually downgraded notepad

Nope it is only available on all windows systems and windows is less the norm in development circles than the general public

If it's a concern for you, there's a fork without the telemetry called VSCodium :)

@@moisty7770 tried that, unfortunately there's obstacles to installing any of the big known extensions

Just learn vim, i switched from atom and i barely know any keyboard shortcurs but i know basic ones and using only the keyboard makes you at least 2 times faster than using keyboard and mouse

i prefer vim.

if your not able to manually execute arbitrary JS at runtime such as C-x C-e on an expr, or IELM, then i dont see how they are comparable

@@explosivecl Vim and Neovim are also nice. In fact, I actually use Spacemacs, which is like a Vim+Emacs Editor.

⁠@@spookyconnolly6072 classic JS soydev malding over his javascript performance lmao

@@spookyconnolly6072 arbitrary lisp in emacs

ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR!!!!1!111!

What are you

Vim is shipped with a lot of Linux distros, it makes it a great fit when you are configuring shit in the Terminal and need to edit a file instead of switching between visual and Terminal.

I have no idea what any of that means but sounds mega cool

True GOAT

I'm taking computer organization next semester and I've heard stories about that💀

pffff notepad ftw

Neovim is better

yep, vim/nvim are indeed GOAT if you get used to it...

It had to be said

no regular notepad is the goat

Vscode gang

They are IDES

@@Kiyoliki Just write code, nobody forces you to use all features😉😂

@@merlin-1d yea, if you want to use an IDE or a code editor doesn't matter. What I meant was the title said "Best Code Editor?", not "Best IDE?" Or "Best IDE/Code Editor" or something like that. So IDEs weren't included.

Yeah I'm not gonna sell my kidney to write code, so I'll stick with vscode.

It's for Gigachads.

ok

you can literally turn that option off in any ide

It is not a code editor

@MrYbs-ie1jj oh my bad ,I forgot its a dishwasher.

Nobody trynna pay 60usd a year when the only good jetbrains ide is intellij. Vscode is just better

@@maaz2004 thats Not my Point Bro my question wasnt why jetbrains was rated so Low but why jetbrains didnt get rated at all

@@kleinmarb4362 because all of jetbrains stuff are IDEs and not text editors

It's not. The second link on their Homepage next to the download link is buy. It costs 99$. Please, don't spread alternative facts.

@@derzw3rg you can still download and use it for free. Just like RAR, we always avoid the payment

@@animespot4441 you can also use intellij eap's without license most of the time - does that mean it's free? No.

@@derzw3rg Damn dude that’s crazy. I wonder how they’ve been charging me for the last 10 years without my credit card information 🤔

@@PreKGraduate piracy is the answer.

It is

​@@vladislavivanov1546 Have you seen all the features that vscode offers, and I think it's easier to understand than atom

@@argentos72 I was kidding man, ofc VSCode is the best

This is just code editors, not IDEs.

Was looking for this

Neither free nor open source

The learning curve to using it isn’t that high. The learning curve to using it more efficiently than the average VSCode user uses that is pretty high imo.
