What is your most used IDE? Is it also your Favorite?

dougw

Do you use the same IDE for every MCU or do you use different IDEs for different manufacturers?

This poll is about which one you use the most, but feel free to comment below if your favorite is not the one you use the most.

How long have you been using it?

Which popular IDEs are missing from this list?

  • Netbeans is still a thing? That brings back nightmares.

    Why isn't 'vim' on the list? Smiley

    Well that's kinda sad. Maybe I'm biased, or my memories of it are being exaggerated by the nostalgia, but the pre-X releases of MPLAB were so fast, efficient and streamlined that whatever they did to it should be considered a crime.

    Nano/Pico should also be there!
    And Notepad++ is also missing Stuck out tongue During my PIC-assembly era that was the "IDE" I used the most.

  • What IDE do I use when my favourite programming language is solder?

  • in reply to wolfgangfriedrich

    In this vein does duct tape also count?

  • First IDEs I used: Turbo Pascal and Turbo C for DOS

  • in reply to Jan Cumps

    Ah Turbo Pascal. Bringing back memories of old. I have no idea what IDE this would be but it looks familiar... similarly with programming Fortran.

  • The vast majority of projects and products that I have built were based around ATMEL/MicroChip ATmega and ATtiny processors (the majority of which use the ATmega328PB).  I have been using various parts from these families for 20+ years.  Early on in the process I bought a license for the CodeVisionAVR complier/IDE software (after very poor experiences with open-source tools).  I initially bought this suite based on its high level of optimized code and its relatively simple IDE.  I have renewed my license for this product several times (as I needed support for new chip and/or improved features) and I remain a very happy user of this product.

    I have also use Visual Studio (Basic, C++), for Windows based software development. 

  • I think I have used 10 from this list and half a dozen that are not on the list.

    The main ones now are Arduino, VS Code, Modus, and some variants of Python.

    I expect I will need to at least augment this with AI going forward.

  • VS Code stands out currently mainly also because it integrates a lot of the other tools: Jupyter notebook, git, platform, docker, ..........
    One thing I also really like that I can debug software on the raspberry pi using VS Code on my laptop.
