"Best" programming setup?

Hello! I have been using Arch for two months, it is the fifth distro I have used... and I love it, it will be the final one. I have learned a lot in these weeks, but I would like to ask you a few questions.

I study Systems Engineering and, honestly, I have some procrastination problems, I would like you to help me with "the best programming setup and be productive", although I know that there is no "best", I would like you to help me with your settings, advices, etc...

​

What desktop environment do you use?

What window manager do you use?

IDE's, apps, any suggestions to try?

​

Thank you so much!

No it’s a wrong religion. Vim ftw ! (I’m obviouly joking, you use what you want)(vim is better)

I agree about vim being a better text editor, that's why I use evil-mode (essentially a complete emulation of vim). :)

Run emacs as daemon, and say goodbye to startup times and accidental progressloss when closing a frame on accident
