I had a Microsoft Tivo competitor that worked with DirecTV in the early 2000s that I really liked. Visual Studio and VS Code aren't bad for what they are. The Zune was pretty awesome. I have had some good times on all generations of XBOX.
I guess what I am saying is that despite my hatred for MS, they haven't been completely awful. Definitely not in the Comcast and various phone companies (I would like to single out Verizon for being particularly scummy) tier of hatred.
Visual Studio is pretty miserable lol. If I had to chose between VS and using a terminal editor like Vim I'd choose Vim in a heartbeat and I'm a JetBrains (of Intellij fame) guy.
VS Code is ight.
I use VsVim when I use VS, but I do most of my code development in Vim. I use VS for a particular product that I support. It works well enough that I can't complain to much, but someone else much more knowledgeable about the tool set it up for me.
My primary development environment is a centos7.3 virtual box with various options (Eclipse). I mostly just use raw gdb because I have been using it long enough that I don't have to think about it too much and it's pretty portable knowledge.
I'm using jetbrains phpstorm and it's awful
Talking about a tool that for every 10 hours of work saves you 6, but costs you 5.5 extra because of the buggy implementations
It's very visible that new features are added without even once looking at edge cases. Anytime anything goes even a small percentage beyond a very small set of expected things, it makes an enormous mess
I dunno about PHP Storm, but I've used pretty much all their other IDEs and they're hands down better than their competitors. I wish they had picked better names for Data Grip and Data Spell though. I can never keep track of which is which.
