Where to? There's nothing even remotely comparable for many tech stacks. I've been looking for alternatives for many years (also being fed up with their disregard for bugs and performance), but there are none (expect for proper VS for Windows-first C++/C#).

Sadly, I just accepted having worse productivity. I didn't really have a choice, their bugs were actively breaking my workflow, like causing builds to fail. It definitely made me more frustrated and less productive on a day-to-day basis.

Eclipse and Netbeans for Java, QtCreator for C and C++ cross-platform, and VS if on Windows.

If it really must be, VSCode for everything else.

I never was a JetBrains fan, especially given the Android Studio experience, glad that is no longer a concern.

Netbeans is not for real development. Sorry, I love Netbeans. I grew up using it. It just doesn't have good support for real world Java development. As for Eclipse, I'll use notepad over that any day. I've been programming in Java since highschool, 20+ years ago.

IntelliJ is the best there is for Java, warts and all.

How do you do real world JNI development with IntelliJ, including cross language debugging and profiling?

Quite curious of the answer in such great IDE.

I just accepted I wasn’t going to find anything comparable, and just have to bite the bullet and accept software that has way less features, but at least consistently works, and doesn’t randomly decide to run at 800% CPU when a single file changes.

Now on team Zed. We’ll see how long that is good before it enshittifies too. I’m not sure if I should be happy they’re still not charging me for it.
