JGO IDE Survey

Quick & dirty IDE survey

Which IDE you like and use most

You can select max one option for column but you don’t have to. Take in account you can’t deselect, so if you selected it wrongly, just update the page and re-do

You’re right, that was quick, and I need a shower.

you forgot notepad++ and sublime … tho’ they’re no IDEs.

You left out AIDE, which I use quite a lot.

This has already been discussed at great length here.

IDEs are like tools. You use different tools for different jobs. Asking which IDE is best is like asking whether a hammer or a saw is best. It depends on the job.

Novices, imho, should start out with something simple like JEdit and the command prompt. Then move on to something like JCreator. Advanced users can probably use eclipse or netbeans or intellij or Android studio just fine, just like an advanced carpenter can probably use both a hammer and a saw just fine. That doesn’t mean any one of those is better or worse than the others- just that they’re different tools for different jobs. The rest comes down to personal preference.

Also, you forgot “no IDE” and JCreator as options.

I thought there was no such masochist around ;D

Sorry, I took the first website with 11 different java IDEs and used that to fill the grid, added

Yeah I know, but that thread is from 2011, I wanted something more update.

Ps: everyone can modify his own choice

I know someone who is now writing a game in C++ and SDL with only sublime and gcc command line
I am not even joking…
Has been for months now too, its not like the person gave up early.

Crazy (not in a bad way) people…

Anyway, time for results

I was doing around the same thing a few weeks ago: I used Atom with a ton of C++ plugins, a terminal, and CMake.

It’s surprisingly easier than I thought. In some ways, it’s even better than an IDE, in that I don’t have to wade through a bunch of menus to get something done. On the other hand, autocompletion and error-checking is a bit… off. Then again, I’m on Linux; the only other good IDE I’ve found there is CLion, but that costs money :P.

I’m Eclipse all the way baby.

I’ve been developing my entire OS in ASM and C just using Sublime and gcc. Not as difficult as one might think.

IntelliJ masterrace reporting in…

…apparently someone really likes notepad++.

Answered ‘Other’ because you forgot Windows text editor… Even better than Notepad++! Windows Text Editor FTW!

No love for Emacs?

I haven’t used it for Java yet, but I’ll probably be trying this, which looks interesting. It’d be nice if I could stay inside Emacs for everything.

Everything is a sad joke when compared to emacs. If you go outside of emacs for something…there a package you probably haven’t loaded. :wink:
