    Celebrating my 1-year anniversary on LV by posting to the forum I first posted in!

    Hey, all you programmers out there!

    No matter what programming language you use, an IDE (integrated developing environment) always makes it easier. Which IDE(s) do you use, and for which language(s)? Why do you use them?

    Here's my list:
    • Visual Studio 2015 for Visual Basic.NET -- It's honestly just the best (and really only) environment for VB.
    • BlueJ for Java -- Personally my favorite for Java. It has a number of cool tools for it, though I've heard good things about Netbeans.
    For all other languages I generally just use Sublime Text 3 (a text editor that I highly recommend) since I don't do a lot of hardcore development in them yet!

    Well, if you mean a programming environment, I use Android Studio for Java. I mainly program for FTC Robotics, and I'm not very good, so I just do what's recommended and read tutorials. Android Studio's Dark theme looks really nice though, and easy on the eyes at night especially.

    yeye, celebration timesss.

    I'm a Visual Studio lifer, haha. I've got the last three versions of it installed, that being the 2012, 2013 and 2015 versions, with 2013 still being the main version we use in projects. It's my go-to IDE for developing in C++ and C#, though I know it can handle other things too. I love the dark colour theme! Some of the proprietary features feel kinda bloated to me, however. Been forced to sync projects using Team Foundation server recently rather than Git, and it's gone anything but smoothly.

    NetBeans then is my go-to IDE for Java and PHP dev'ing. I'd really prefer to use Eclipse or another program that a friend happened to recommend to me (I think it may have been called IntelliJ?), for reasons that I can't quite put my finger on. I seem to be weird like that. Perhaps it stems from my dislike of Java in general? Haha.

    If I wanna simply peruse a file's contents then I'll crack open Notepad++. Still gonna use that nifty text editor rather than a fully fledged IDE for my own fooling around though. I love how streamlined and no-nonsense it is compared to IDEs, if that makes sense?

    Sort of an old topic I just saw xD

    I use Visual Studio for C#, Eclipse for Java (I used IntelliJ for a while too) and the built-in one (eh, I forgot the name it wore) for Python. All of these are IDEs that I recommend to anyone, be it new or old, who uses the respective languages.
