I really, really want to love Nova, but there's a few basic things I can't figure out (How can I rename all instances of a symbol? How can I get the editor to recognise the contents of my virtual environment to e.g. spot invalid imports?) and as there's no official forum, Discord, etc there's basically nowhere to turn for community support.
In the end I had to conclude it’s just not aimed at somebody like me (I pretty much exclusively use Python), and went back to PyCharm / VS Code.
Goneovim + Nvim + NvChad + custom Github Dark theme
neovim but prefer to debug in vscode
No one mentionning geany so here i go. Really simple and lightweight with a lot of extensions, themeing, and cool features. Good UX and very hackable.
Neovim, but I am considering switching to Helix. The one thing that is stopping me is that there is no support for plugins yet.
Plugin support stopped me as well. I like the direction taht Helix is going, but I think it's got a bit before I jump ship. I tinkered with it and it worked pretty well.
I think Neovim has tons of potential that's untapped with the Lua language.
My favourite IDE is a shell, Textadept for editing, and gdb for debugging.
My OS is my IDE.
So emacs?
I am too wired for VIm, however I know emacs , and I mean the emacs way (!evil), i've used it few months for a C project, it's great and all but it's its own whole universe and I knew there was a rabbit hole somewhere waiting to trap me :), I don't have enough brain room nor bandwidth anymore for it.
so yeah, gnu/Linux+coreutils+vim+git+gdb+delve is my IDE
I can’t live without vim-like keybindings, but I also like the convenience of a proper GUI for debugging and using graphical extensions.
My solution: VSCode with the VSCode-Neovim extension, which uses a real instance of neovim to edit files.
