My ideal code editor :077:

You can split horizontaly… Sadly you can’t split vertically anymore then.

I miss “mixed splitting”.

You can now :slight_smile:

I had problems using insider builds in the past and since I do use vscode (side by side with Emacs) in production, I need a tool that works… But I’m looking forward to that feature! Thank you for letting me know!

Just thought I’d post my experiences for future reference. (I have been evaluating IDEs because I have some new project needs coming up that are not even related to Elixir which are forcing me to take a look around.)

  • Atom: no debugger (which I don’t care about very much), otherwise does everything well, but takes too much CPU even when idle, even with plugins stripped out to almost 0 functionality. I’m tired of the fans running all the time, and aware that I won’t be able to use it successfully on battery power.

  • IntelliJ: does everything well, at substantially lower CPU usage than Atom. But I will not use it as my “1 IDE to rule them all” because the Vue.js plugin is basically worthless.

  • VSCode: does everything well, at substantially lower CPU usage than IntelliJ. I think I’m switching to it…

I’m using it already, it’s usable. I encourage more Emacs users to help beta test, fix bugs, and improve.

Update: happy enough with VS Code so far, and today they release a version with more flexible editor layout, which was my main gripe.
