What editor or IDE do you use and why? (lemmynsfw.com)

Now I'm wondering who uses what development tools. I mostly use Qt Creator myself - I chose it because of its good integration with C++ and Qt projects, and I'm just used to it. On Linux I use Qt Creator, and on Windows I use Visual Studio. I wonder what others use? VSCode, Vim, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDE, Emacs, Sublime or something more rare?

  • Why did you decide to use them specifically?
  • What do you like or annoy you about it?
  • How usable is it in real work?

I use Zed Yeah the agentic ai feature is nice and all but I don’t use it much. However the whole speed of it and the layout of the ui is very close to my heart eg.: native remote server connection or you can hide stuff away to be distraction free. Tldr.: feels nice, looks nice

Never heard of Zed, trying it out now... I"m not sure I've ever seen such a responsive GUI app. Crazy.

Haha right? My first reaction exactly. Written in rust so that’s that. Oh forgot yo mention the collab features almost equally amazing

Interesting, never heard of it before but looks promising, I should try it. I don't care much for AI features, but I'm not against it either, especially if I can use locally hosted models, and it seems Zed supports ollama natively, so that fits the bill.

Coming from vscode, one of the features I use a lot is devcontainers, does Zed support something similar?
