I used Atom for markdown editing for my blog and I loved it. After the death of Atom I felt forced to switch over to VS Code and I hate it.
Hate, Hate. Hate.
I can't tell you why, I just hate it.
I found Pulsar last week and my blood pressure is down where it belongs now.
For programming in Java & Kotlin I use Intellij Idea CE. I cannot image why anyone would bother with VS Code for this purpose either.
I recently started learning Java and Intellij Idea was recommended to me by the course. This is the second time in a week I've heard about this. In your opinion, what makes it good?
It just works. I spent years with Eclipse (but quite some time ago now), and it was always a pain getting particular things to work properly. The last time I messed with it was doing research for an article I was writing. I was try to get Gradle support enabled. I wasn't able to do it, but I admit I gave up pretty quickly because I don't have the patience for messing with tools that don't work any more.
In truth, I really liked the Open aspect of Eclipse and I wish it work better than Intellij. Maybe it does now - I don't know. For Java Intellij is awesome, and does everything you could ever dream for. For Kotlin - well Kotlin is an Intellij product and the support for it is awesome.
Sweet thank you!
