I would pick vscode over any jetbrains tool for absolutely any language. I do all of my Java, scala, and python in vscode. Use whatever tools you like (that’s why there are so many) but vscode is genuinely good for just about everything.
I can’t bring myself to fight with jetbrains insane configurations (what the hell is a facet?!?)… and some very questionable syntax highlighting.
- yedpodtrzitko 3y ago> and some very questionable syntax highlighting. Could you elaborate? I'm in the opposite camp and any time I try to use VSCode with Python, I really miss the Semantic Highlighting there, which helps with orientation in the code quite a lot.
- NoInkling 3y agoVS Code has semantic highlighting too, and I'm pretty sure it works with Python these days (might need the right extension/colour scheme).
- code_runner 3y agoCertain bits of Python were red, but not because of an error… it was just the color scheme.
- jen20 3y agoGood question: what is a facet? I’ve been using JetBrains products for 20 years now and literally have never come across that term anywhere in them.
- lmz 3y agoIt's one of the extra things you can add on to the base project structure e.g. a Spring facet for Spring framework projects, or an Android facet for Android apps. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/facet-page.html https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/facet-page.html
- kaba0 3y agoVscode is a code editor, not an idea. Everything you write is just as true for vim. But some people do prefer an actual IDE, as it can give a huge benefit.
- code_runner 3y agoI get all of my syntax highlighting, autocomplete, integrated terminal, test panels etc in vscode. Vim is great too with the right configuration and tweaking.
