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 Emacs. I used to really love Neovim but it breaks too often and I can’t get myself to write my own configs. I tried all other Neovim alternatives (Kakoune, Helix,…) but they were all pretty immature. At the end, I learned to use Emacs and has been a happy user since.

    I like Emacs because it is very extensible and IMHO it is easier to config than Neovim :) Emacs has a very large plugin repository so code integration is not a problem. I have been more productive since the switch. I think it got me addicted to programming, not gonna lie…
