Is it time to go back to the plugin-hell called Eclipse?
You can't imagine how happy am I to have never jumped the wagon. To either VSCode or to anything from JetBrains. Began using eclipse on my uncle's computer back in ~2010. And just never left.
It followed me through c++, java for uni classes and Python. It followed me when I switched to Linux. I'll bring it to my grave if it keeps going.
Is it the best? Nope. But it's fucked up consistently enough for me to get used to it well enough.
Are you for real? I seriously cannot imagine anyone willingly using Eclipse.
Eclipse 15 years ago was OK. Decent Debugger, useful Plugins (like WindowBuilder). It had issues, but instead of focusing on those they over time just kept piling crap on top of it.
