It’s very easy to go from Sublime or Atom to VS Code the latter two seem clearly inspired by Sublime. Sublime and Atom are similar in feel and function, but lack the same level of community activity.
Rubymine vs sublime software#
I highly recomend watching the Play by Play and Destroy all Software screencasts for examples of developers that really have invested in learning and customizing their text editor. Feels a factor of a million more responsive than Rubymine. Personally I feel most productive in an IDE, but when I look at people really proficient in VIM or Emacs, I can't help wondering wether I should invest the time learning the tools. That also means that text-editors are more customizable, and can be configure to fit your specific needs more so than an IDE. To generalize, an IDE provides you with a really productive environment out-of-the box, where as an editor usually needs to be customized to fit your specific work-flow. Some people claim that there is little value add with an IDE for working with dynamic languages, but after having used tools like WebStorm and RubyMine I disagree. GoTo option is provided where editors can go and check the code lines individually.tom is a slower editor as this is a heavy application and has many plugins. Really investing to learn a good editor makes you look like a "text surgeon". In addition an IDE is very useful when you work in statically typed languages, because the safe refactoring support you get is really productive.Ī good text editor on the other hand focuses on manipulating text (although editors like Emacs is almost an OS in and of itself), and so thats where it's greatest strengths lies. In my experience an IDE focuses on adding support for much of the tooling involved around developing in a specific language, for instance build tools, debuggers, test runners etc. This difference means a lot when you want to work with languages like Java, that has a lot of syntactic bagages, but is quite productive with good IDE support. First off all, IntelliJ is an IDE, where as Sublime Text is a text editor.
