  • I think Jetbrains is still fine as an editor but yes, the tooling is getting worse and worse. I recently stopped using the DB tool because it simply wasn’t able to reliably connect to my databases. Dbeaver is working great with same databases. For a easy fix that would be my recommendation: community editor Jetbrain tolls for editing code, external tools for git/db/docker and so on.

    For personal projects I use neovim and while is a great editor with all the features I need it is a constant struggle. Maintaining configuration is really difficult. If you’re using nvim already turning it into IDE can be a fun project. If you’re not familiar with it I wouldn’t recommend it for development. There’s just too much work.
