survey.stackoverflow.co Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2023

In May 2023 over 90,000 developers responded to our annual survey about how they learn and level up, which tools they're using, and which ones they want.

Visual Studio Code is the preferred IDE as far as what users want but Neovim has a higher proportion of users that want to continue using it next year (81% vs 77%).

Well why not visual code + neovim, there's a plugin for that!
- Why would you use it like that though? Neovim itself is enough for almost all use cases.
  
  Yes, I just feel more productive being able to navigate with the mouse, quickly scan and jump between files. Having a full vi session for editing would be awesome. The plugin is pokey though, so I stopped using it, ymmv.
- It's kinda janky, many neovim plugins don't work inside vscode
- For me VSCode feels really slow against Neovim.
