Ok.. #asknostr - other than the obvious "just use Visual Studio Code" for those of you who use JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, etc) what one is best suited to doing mobile dev these days?
Discussion
I'm using IntelliJ with plugins for js/ts, go, rust and python. Refactoring tools are better in IntelliJ the last time I checked. Also the integration with Claude is nice (didn't try VS with that).
I have the "all in once" license for the Jetbrains products. I use Pycharm and Data Spell for their focus on what they do well for Python dev work without the Java-centric functionality that IntelliJ has (which is an incredible IDE no doubt). Sounds like either IntelliJ or GoLand would be more than suitable for what I need.
Thanks for sharing your perspective..!
Oh and I agree with you.. the Claude integration that JetBrains offers is stellar...
I don't think your IDE really matters all that much, so long as it's got the core stuff. It's really more of a personal choice. You might personally find you care more or less about certain features, but I don't think mobile dev demands anything that would pull you away from your preferred choice. I haven't done any mobile Dev, so I could be wrong, but I've done a little research into it and haven't found anything to suggest I'm wrong.
I personally like NeoVim with a handful of plugins to flesh it out. I don't remember my exact load out at the moment, but I'd only recommend it if you like Vim or are interested in learning to use it. It's the best text editor I've ever used, so once you add some plugins for some of those IDE features, it's pretty great.
