    You can’t imagine how happy am I to have never jumped the wagon. To either VSCode or to anything from JetBrains. Began using eclipse on my uncle’s computer back in ~2010. And just never left.

    It followed me through c++, java for uni classes and Python. It followed me when I switched to Linux. I’ll bring it to my grave if it keeps going.

    Is it the best? Nope. But it’s fucked up consistently enough for me to get used to it well enough.

        Willingly is a strong word. More of a “this shitbox is the only thing I know how to use well”. It’s been my first window into programming. And at the time my uncle used it for work. So he taught me how to get around the mess.

        Also I’m quite sure Eclipse played a big role in why I despise Java with every atom of my being.

        I’ve tired switching to VSCode. But my peewee brain doesn’t process how to use it. It tries to default to the way I use Eclipse. I’ve started managing to rattle off some programs with micro+clang. That seems to be the easiest way out for me. Considering I don’t program for a living.

        I feel like an accountant refusing to let go of it’s MS-DOS based software ffs.

      To be fair, the community edition IDEs from Jetbrains are open source and any telemetry is optional.
