I know it has a lot of problems, it's hard to do it solo and limited resources (I'm freelancing to make money). But I promise I'm not adding more slop but instead fixing the problems every day slowly.

No other code editor makes me feel as calm as @athasdev does.

I didn't use this post to advertise my product (Athas) btw. I'm just saying these as a user. 1. I'm a huge fan of ACP, I wish it was better and I want gemini to adopt it as soon as they can. 2. I'm really using all the popular IDEs all the time. Ask my IRL friends. I literally have Webstorm, VS Code, Zed, neovim open almost all the time. 3. LSPs are the ~90% of the problems we're having with all of the code editors. 4. You still need to write/edit/review code. You can't say agents to "fix this", you have to say "do this on here". If you don't understand this, you're outputing slop. 5. I love Zed. It still has issues and they're fixing it. Just like I have a LOT of issues on my code editor, and am fixing it.

Depends on the project, the team, the stack, the architecture and so on. You can avoid a lot of issues IDEs try to solve by designing a good system from the start. And I have the pleasure to work on such a project. The book I'm reading rn is saying that the most important thing is to make the programmer one with the text. The less functionalities the IDE has, the better. According to him, only input speed matters, so his choice is vim.

Cursor is not an code editor anymore. Zed language servers and agents crash all the time. JetBrains is too slow and agents crash all the time. Installing a theme from VS Code store can potentially infect your computer with malware. Who will fix this?
