       I tried using Intellij IDEA for GHC development (~870k lines of Haskell, some C on top) and the only thing it did was freeze, gulp on much of the RAM I have, and shit itself profusely. Any other good IDE that I could use? Emacs doesn't seem exciting anymore.

       @icon_of_computational_sin does #VSCode also choke? I can ask my company's GHC department what do they use to edit GHC.

       @jonn VSCode is something I would rather avoid, because Microsoft. Also, because it doesn't allow putting NyanCat into the status bar. The latter is actually much worse.

       @icon_of_computational_sin @jonn tbh VSCode is decent. The only complaints I have with it are being owned by Microsoft, Electron and the features I don't use.

       @EricZhang456 @jonn i used to use VSCode for a while, maybe around a year or so. While the core editor worked for me, the ecosystem did not. Many plugins are just underdeveloped and then abandoned, others turn into ad-ridden "enterprise" versions of their former selves. I realised enough was enough when some git plugin threw its ad at me, telling me I had to buy a license to use a feature I didn't even know about.But also, really. No nyancat in the status bar? This shit is totally unusable!

       @icon_of_computational_sin @jonn Huh, I never bumped into a VSCode plugin that has ads or "enterprise" versions

       @EricZhang456 @jonn you will, eventually. I saw two plugins I used to use turn this way. Fortunately, I could freeze their versions and prevent further updates, but this is still annoying as shit.One was GitLens (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eamodio.gitlens), can't remember the other one.

       @icon_of_computational_sin @jonn VSCode has a built-in Git client and I didn't really find the need for one of these.VSCode is not my main text editor anymore so maybe I am just out of touch.

       @eric @icon_of_computational_sin @EricZhang456 @jonn Atlassian makes products that look very good but don't work very good. Gitkraken was one of the biggest pieces of shit I have ever used. Crashed, froze and stalled out literally constantly. Took 20x longer to pull LFS objects than command line. You HAVE git available why would you not just pass commands to it from the GUI side, god
