Personally I hate VS. For instance, it drives me insane with how it can't automatically detect stuff like what's commented out and what isn't so that I have to use ctrl + k then ctrl + c or ctrl + u rather than just ctrl + / like in basically every other text editor that's worth it's bytes. /rant

 

If I need an IDE I got with Jetbrains stuff basically 100% of the time.

you can change the default key binds

But would it be smart enough that I can change it to the same key?

 

Edit: I mean like in sublime when I press ctrl + / it automatically knows that it's commented or uncommented code. Also VS almost always seems a bit sluggish to me... maybe it's just my hardware and the fact that it's a beast of a program.

I have visual studio code installed. I just don't use it cause I'm currently used to sublime.

What about vi?

 

I like vim, but I would only do a lot of writing in it for things like bash scripts. Anything needing multiple classes or oop I use a proper IDE.

I'd argue that any text editor with a decent tagging system can easily substitute an IDE. Source Cookifier for Notepad++ for instance greatly improves the workflow coupled with the "find in all files"

 

I don't really care for an autocomplete system, and in fact, sometimes they really annoy me. I am considering turning it off on Atom if it weren't for the fact it completes HTML tags because it's pretty dumb and will autocomplete on some common words. But then again I should probably be using Jade (I'm too old school, must code things the hard way)

You can code ANYTHING with a pen and a piece of paper. Or rocks, like they did back in the stone-age.

 

Compiling and running is another story though.
