Hi experienced devs , I am a beginner programmer. I mostly use code completion and go-to source , and rename function and objects, code-pretty. Other features not so much. What features do you use often And what features are not that useful in an IDE and can be considered bloat? P.S.- Which is that one feature that you can’t live without?( sorry for sounding like tiktok wannabe)
I made the switch to vim a while back because I had to work on remote servers that weren’t running an X server. I found it suited my dev needs as well and haven’t looked back. On the rare occasion I need to debug something, gdb works well enough.
That said, I do use VS code for personal projects. It feels lightweight enough to me, since you only have to install extensions for the languages and tools you plan to use.
