A comment on The Era of Visual Studio Code.

I pay for a personal subscription to the JetBrains suite, use IntelliJ and PyCharm all day, and have also used Visual Studio all day in the recent past. The combination of modern IDEs with modern hardware is pretty awesome. My use of Emacs fluctuates depending on the job, language, environment, etc. but I've mostly used it for Org mode and a scratch pad since I signed up for JetBrains.

That said, I tried Nova from Panic (https://nova.app/) the other day, and the native app performance makes a noticeable difference. I know it's doing less, but I can still search the codebase quickly and the resource use is like 10% of other IDEs.

I use JetBrains suite as well. If only they could offer ONE IDE that is configurable to be used on many programming languages. Having many different binaries is a pita.

IntelliJ ultimate edition + other language plugins is basically this.

Most alternative Jetbrains IDEs like Rubymine and Webstorm are just Intellij with a predetermined set of language plugins.

I have Ruby, nodejs and related plugins installed into my Intellij and it works exactly the same as Rubymine or Webstorm.

Most JetBrains IDEs have almost equivalent IDEA plugins.

With IDEA I can do Java, Web, SQL, Python, Rust.

IntelliJ Ultimate with the plugins does this but it's not quite as smooth as the individual IDEs.
