What apps do you use for development?

I am asking about photo editors, IDE/CE's, browsers, operating systems, languages, etc. Name what you use the most. If you have multiple common ones name them all.

Here's what I use daily :

  • Windows 10 (with Powershell and Windows Terminal)
  • Ubuntu on WSL2
  • phpStorm (for PHP, TypeScript and SQL)
  • Firefox

And that's about it really. More occasionally I'll use :

  • Chrome when I'm working on a PWA and need to debug on Android
  • Paint.net to do some light image editing
  • emEditor when I need to open a huge file (like a 4GB XML)
  • POSTman (although I'm using phpStorm instead more and more)
  • WinSCP

How does PHPStorm replace postman?!

There's an http client in phpStorm (jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/http-c...), which lets you write http queries, execute them with variables stored in environment files, handle them with simple javascript scripts (to retrieve tokens for the next query for example), and write tests to check if the request returned what you expected.

It's a little less intuitive than POSTman because it's entirely code based, but the good thing is you don't have to leave your IDE, and you can commit the http test files in the repo with your code (I guess technically you could commit you POSTman collections too).

Personally I use Ubuntu 20.04 for my OS, VSCode for my code editor, Firefox as my browser, GIMP and Inkscape for graphics, and Qt for my GUI library. The languages I use are Python and C++ (looking for a long-term language because I don't like doing them). For my terminal emulator, I use Qterminal.

Same. Though in the mean time markdown seems to have sneaked in and replaced both. I guess "wow I have 4 years of 'experience' in markdown" is what happens while you're making other plans.

And nobody say GoLang.

The only part of Golang I liked was the narwal operators. I might get into V if it ever reaches 1.0

Oh boy.... I love this kind of posts.
For OS I use Windows 10, Linux Mint 19, MX Linux 19.1 , MacOS. I had Windows 7 till it's EOL this year. I have one partition for distrohopping so I try lot of dem distros. But for work it's usually Mint cos I am using it for quite some time. The kernels on work are usually LTS versions latest. On testing I likeXanmod. I had some issues withliquorix and was too lazy to debug.

For IDEs I use VS Code , Notepad++ ,Android Studio ,X-Code, SublimeText. I used Atom,Eclipse and Netbeans in past.
I really like Paint.NET and thats my defacto editor but use GIMP on Linux.
Postman is really handy for testing and sharing APIs
I use every possible browser I guess. Chrome/Firefox/Brave/IE 5 & 6(don't ask)/Edge/Chromium.
Languages , it's odd to explain . It is really dependent on project in hand.
Usually I do JavaScript but I can do RubyOnRails & PHP. Java/Obj-C comes handy if I want to build native apps.

I recently converted to Ubuntu 20.04 from Windows 10. Windows was really bogging down the system so it was time to change. Happy with Unbuntu so far!

Vscode with Dracula theme as my code editor
Firefox and chromium (I flip flop between the two) both with Dracula theme.
Insomnia... With dracula theme.

I recently saw a post on how you can get Dracula theme in everything... And they were right! Oh, and Ubuntu with Dracula theme too... I may be obsessed.

As an OS I use Fedora. I used the Fedora net installer to build my own distro of sorts with the right software, desktop environments, windows managers etc. And it's been stable af through a number of updates.
For work I have to use Visual Studio about 60% of the time, but pretty much all the rest of the time I use vim. When combined with tmux I really like the workflow I've settled into.
Browser is Firefox, I really like the dev tools and I like the built in privacy features.
I use C# and Javascript at work, but on my own projects I've been exploring Crystal, Go, Rust, and more to find my forever language.
