Visual Studio has been pretty modern, specially when compared against traditional UNIX offerings.
Anyone measuring typing speed as productivity measurement is doing it wrong.
Writing code is around 50% of daily activities.
Visual Assist doesn't do nothing when I have to write documentation, architecture diagrams, meetings to decide roadmap items, demos at customer review meetings,....
On top of that, none of the OS SDK replacements offer better UI or debugging capabilities across the platform tooling, they just play "catch-me if you can" with what I can get on day 0 of each OS SDK release.
JetBrains wants to be Borland, yet they don't sell any of the platforms, or languages.
I guess Kotlin and Android marriage will help them, as they are trying to make it their "Delphi", lets see how it plays out if Fuchsia ever happens.
I don’t think JetBrains is going anywhere soon; been using their products for almost a decade.
I don’t measure my productivity by how much code I can write, that was just an example.
The way I work designing systems and architecture, I have already made the solution in my head and basically the “coding” part is just trying to get that info out as fast as possible. I have a similar thing to eidetic memory, but I am so ADHD what gets remembered can be random or missing stuff. I remember all code I’ve ever written, seen, or thought about and tools that allow me to basically brain dump this info greatly improve my production, leadership, confidence, and architectural designs.
