It's still shocking that Microsoft just couldn't come up with a decent third option at all. Goes to show that Windows only exists out of pure inertia at this point, and Microsoft is now incapable of building successful consumer products that people love using.
Visual Studio Code is quite well liked
Vscode is essential just because of what they call "intellisense". You download the package for the programming language you want and then it shows you lists of variables and members in classes, shows you tool tips with relevant comments and some autocomplete suggestions. This is so invaluable and saves so much time. I can't just remember the entire codebase and every function, variable and overload of it myself. Switching tabs and windows all the time every time I forgot the overloads for that one function is an impossible waste of time when I'm doing anything complicated.
I know there are actually FOSS ways to do this now finally but I've never successfully set it up. Hopefully that stuff will be working well, easier to use and more refined by the time Microsoft pulls the plug in Vscode for Linux.
Ahem. Eclipse would like a word.
Was doing Java, C, PHP, and Python on it close to 20 years ago. With language API support & documentation implemented by plugins.
That said, I do tip my hat to MS for developing LSP for vscode - and eventually making it an open standard.
