> I’m not monogamous with my code editors
I’ve always wondered why some people seem so married to a single editor. Based on the file type or context I might bounce between a number of them.
I used to use Sublime Text a lot, but that’s been completely replaced for me by VSCode.
I use IntelliJ IDEA predominantly for Java, Groovy, Python, Kotlin, PHP. I’m not a fan of its type hinting for JS or suggestions for HTML/SASS/CSS so I use VSCode for all my ‘web’ work.
I’ve also found VSCode to be faster/nicer than IDEA for random things like JSON, SQL, Dockerfiles, Vagrantfiles, Bash scripts.
IDEA generally supports these well enough, but is too noisy (constant bugging about connecting to a data source when opening a SQL file, etc.) or is just lacking a little something compared to VSCode.
