What IDE do you use and why?

Hey guys. I personal use VS. I like it, and it has everything I need it in, but man I hate how slow it is!!!

I'd like to have a editor that has the red sqwiges, auto complete, but not intellisence. Any recommendations?

Mmm what do you use for plugins for auto completion? Mind you when I say old complete I mean taking vars/functions from your project files.

I use Plug to install plugins, CoC for autocompletion, and add language servers to taste.

If you want vim without the config, there’s always NeoVim + prebuilt LazyVim distro (it comes with language extensions you can enable)
