Nicegui and IDEs

[ed2050]

The 2024 Stack Overflow developer survey results are out. One item of particular relevance to nicegui is the question which IDE do you use.

Taking Desired as a proxy for use, note that VIM is 4th place with 17% of developers. That's more than:

• PyCharm 11%
• Jupyter 10%
• Sublime 6.5%

The only higher scores are Visual Studio 19% and IntelliJ 20%, which are in the same range as VIM. And then VS Code, which laps the field at 58%. VS makes a decent python dev env, but I doubt many python devs use IntelliJ. It's a general survey, not python specific of course, but still worth noting.

Takeaway

Many python devs don't use fancy IDEs with popup help, type hints, automatic templating, etc. It's good for nicegui to keep this in mind - it's come up in several discussions here before.

Good docs and sensible APIs are worth the investment. Nicegui has done a good job so far. Keep up the great work! 👍
