cool, but why dont you use WebStorm? the best IDE I think. imho, JetBrains IDEs are the best in their field. I use 5 of them. and you can install custom themes also
-
@meain is that why you're stuffing your text editor with plugins to make it behave more like an IDE?
-
meain45328y@kanduvisla Haha, it's hard to learn everything that an ide provides, but when I set up plugins I know exactly how they work. Plus text editors are way faster to start up.
-
@meain can't argue with that! π I tried sublime once for a while, but I ended up stuffing it with plugins to make it do the same stuff phpstorm does out-of-the-box.

hiestaa4018yText editors for real devz!
The good thing with sublime is that you don't have to change your typing habits when you change language. It's a pain in the ass when you go to another IDE to re-learn all the features and key bindings that are specific to the new one. -
@hiestaa http://imgur.com/06BxGxz here is my IDE-s and all the key bindings are same, or even you can export those settings.
IDE's do al the sweetness and I usually don't close them for several days, so no boot time :) -
hiestaa4018y@tatocaster Oh God, so you constantly switch back and forth between all of these? You're never annoyed not having the buttons at the same place and maybe auto-complete not working exactly the same?
Also, which of these IDEs can support multiple cursors? This simple feature increased my productivity like 3x ('cause I'm a stackoverflow / copy-paste expert :p) -
@hiestaa all the above IDE-s are from JetBrains except XCode and SourceTree. and yes they do support multiple cursor , and I have same keybindings.
Android Studio - Android
IntelliJ - Java tests and Kotlin (personal use)
WebStorm - Some js/html/css work such as a mini AngularJS project
PhpStorm - for PHP projects , especially Laravel
DataGrip - the best database explorer
AppCode - for iOS development because XCode sucks. I use xcode only for storyboard(visual editor)
so I'm very familiar with configs in JetBrains products and I feel home when I'm in. I sync my settings across devices, this is a personal macbook, at office I have desktop Linux and at home I have dual-boot Linux/Windows(mostly Dota2). so I think I'm in good shape.
I used sublime text a lot. Also wrote some small plugins for it and so on but for big project an maintenance IDEs are life. -
meain45328y@tatocaster I wouldn't really call Atom shit, the only reason why I won't use atom is just because it's not native and so is a bit slow to start. Btw it was shit in the beginning but has come a long way.
-
meain45328y@tatocaster Haha, that's what we devs do when it comes to text editors. It's like religion.
-
Wait, you can actually change the background color of the file list on the left?
I tried Sublime once but didn't find an option for that. -
Just tried it again.
So you have to install a theme to change the sidebar color. Apparently it's too simple to just offer a setting for that. -
morgh6828yAnd so the editor wars rage on.
Each side unwilling to acknowledge that you can be productive with any editor. Really.
Btw. I just bought a new computer. Should I install Linux, windows or hackintosh? -
-
@morgh I like to keep a Windows partition just in case. Installing it afterwards tends to cause trouble.
-
morgh6828y@tatocaster @deadlyRants I was just kidding.
I run Windows on my PC so I can play games. Most of my dev work is done in vms. -
morgh6828y@meain I don't like rebooting and losing my session.
VMs are convenient because I can pause them whenever I want. And I can create and keep as many as I want.
For most things I don't see a noticeable performance penalty.
I would consider using a hypervisor on a nice server rack though. But that's expensive.
