IDE of the Year - Visual Studio Code (19.08%)
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

It's coming along but not sure about the IDE of the year?

Small poll, many choices including Eclipse and EMACS.
Nice site you have, I just set a Pi 3 up as a router/VPN to put a surveillance camera on line for testing.

I just use the VS 2017 editor, it has everything I need for coding. For other stuff I use Notepad++, it's good for a liteweight editor.
I do use Visual Studio Code but I find it confusing and frustd up reverting back to VS.
Thanks for the kind words, am still working on it but I like what I have so far.
Pi's are amazing devices...hope to see an article spun out of yuour experiences setting up the Pi.

Ah as the title suggests...blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.
ABout the only development I do on Linux is for the Pi and for that I just use the editor that comes with it. I have used Eclipsr on the PC linked to the Pi and this works fairly well.

it is a pity though, vs and n++ are both tools beyond compare on linux (and really I reckon windows too.)
Looking at some day soon (hah!) some c# (.Net core) dev in linux, my thinking is to run vs2017 in a virtual machine on a shared drive - when ready to finalize switch back to linux, make the final tweaks and recompile it there. Yeah I know the vs compiled code is portable, but I'll be tying in some native code and possibly even a more linux-native gui.
vs code is actually quite capable but only works 1 project at a time, I miss the full-vs solutions, it's way better intellisense and debugging.

It depends what you're wanting to do. For regular .NET development I would use VS. For playing around with Go or Solidity I use VS Code. But as I've not yet used it really heavily there's a bit of a learning curve, especially as it regularly adds features.
I also use Notepad++ but not for actual programming, just for quick viewing of code and programming-related tasks.
(Notepad++ is Windows of course.)

actually I tried it, didn't like it,
tried some others (eclipse, code:blocks, codelite...) and liked those even less.
Anyway vs code: I'd not go so far to say it's the best, rather the "least worst."
... perhaps too harsh, gonna move up a notch to "most alright."
I'm pretty confident it will improve though, it'll never be visual studio but it'll sure pick up more of the vs-like capabilities.
worth learning: definitely.
I mean typical linux down at dev level it's all about the little 'quirks' - gotta find those bit's 'n pieces that make it possible to get stuff done ... (but unlike winduds once you get it set the way you want there's no fear the next "update" will break your settings or something you rely on will cease to exist.)
general non coding linux text editor: notepadqq (good notepad++ workalike - no extensions though)
remember: if you're moving around linux sites still absolutely required to have basic vi knowledge - even though [including vim] it's still a sick piece of crap, but it's always there.

I tried using it, but there is no concept of a "project" the way we know and love the paradigm in visual studio.

So I was cleaning my coffee grinder this morning and dropped the little feeder thingie, which proceeded to chip off a number of important bits. After a brief panic, I managed to super-glue it back together, but it reminded me of the perhaps oft casually considered but seldom spoken debt that the software industry owes to South/Central America.
Could it actually even be over-estimated? I'm not sure it could. How many lines of code a year are written under the influence of coffee? What's one of the few, or possible even the only, consistently free amenity that software companies offer their employees?
Of course coffee isn't the only stimulative product from Central America, and others may have often contributed. But coffee is far and away the fuel that powers the software industry. You'd think that the big companies would have long since made moves to consolidate their control over this important resource, sort of the way the US moved to control pitchblende deposits in the early 40s once it became apparent what sort of energies here hiding in there.

I probably agree with you; however, in 20 years of doing development work, I've never worked with another developer that drank coffee, including myself.

That's very weird, with how many developers have you worked with? I actually never worked with another developer that did not drink off. I am always the weird'o that does not drink coffee.
And I have worked with MANY developers and never met a single one that is not fueled by coffee except me. I am however fueled by caffeine through either capsules or energy drinks, just because I don't like the taste of coffee.

I think it's South America, Colombia to be specific, that supplies most of the coffee beans for the USA. I could be wrong though and I am not a coffee drinker either.

I hadn't really thought about it, but a quick check seems to indicate that Brazil is the biggest, and surprisingly Vietnam is the second and Indonesia is fourth. Columbia and Mexico third and seventh.
Oh well, geography was never my strong point.

While I don't dispute your thesis that Coffee, and caffeine in general, has had a huge impact on software development, Central America has little to do with it:
From Wikipedia: The genus Coffea is native to tropical Africa (specifically having its origin in Ethiopia and Sudan) and Madagascar, the Comoros, Mauritius, and Réunion in the Indian Ocean
Furthermore the top 5 Coffee producing nations are List of countries by coffee production - Wikipedia

Indonesia 0.7 " "
Ethiopia 0.4 " "
