nish: Support for Kotlin isn't decent compared to Atom. For instance there is no proper syntax highlighting and lint support is missing.

Don’t want to start a flame, but just curious why Atom and Vscode instead Idea?

Well you don’t have to tell me that 😄

That’s the current best syntax highlighting plugin and i’ve been waiting on this for almost a month

No particular reason why… I like to alternate between idea and other editors. I personally like vscode more than atom.

To put it in a friendly way IntelliJ is very useful/handy/productive for Kotlin K development simple smile however just like the other Java ☕ based IDE's (eg NetBeans, Eclipse) it can be a resource hog piggy at times (uses a lot of CPU and memory), and overkill for some situations (too complex?) ⚡. In one instance when some simple edits 📝 are being made to a small # of Kotlin K source files it makes much more sense to go with a light weight 🔦 programmer's text editor (eg Atom, VS Code). Some of the programmer's text editors are not that much better with resource usage, especially when they are written in JS piggy (eg Atom, VS Code) but are enough to make a real difference.

But it just have no refactoring or code analysis and all other Idea features. Of course, it depends on your needs, but I just cannot use anything except IDE

[napperley]

I'm correctly guessing that JetBrains don't have any intention of writing a programmer's text editor using Kotlin via Kotlin Native? Aka eating their own dog food 🌭 😆

[gildor]

I just don’t understand why they should do that we already have Idea

[gildor]

and Kotlin is a language that used for Idea development
