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?

    Visual Studio Code, I think it’s just the best, works on all platforms and there’s extensions for literally everything. If it enshittifies too much with e.g. copilot, etc. there’s always vscodium instead.

    If I’m on a linux terminal, I use the micro editor. I can survive using vim if nothing else is available, but yeah, I used to be in emacs team back in the day…

    I have used Qt Creator in the past and, while it was pretty good back then, nowadays I’m not sure if it can compete with vscode, I haven’t kept up with its development.
