The Breakpoint [2025-09-30] - Best IDE in 2025?
Meow, world!
I really enjoyed reading The Breakpoint, Product Hunt's weekly, developer-focused newsletter, and wanted to relaunch it as a token of appreciation to the community.
Here we go. The Breakpoint (2.0), a weekly thread on all things dev tools on Product Hunt.

Best IDE in 2025?

In the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, VS Code ranked as the most-used developer environment. I was curious to know the feeling of the community.
VS Code, Cursor, and JetBrains were among the most upvoted products, with mentions of Neovim, Windsurf, Xcode, and Zed. Different programming languages, different preferences.
That's all, folks! See you next week for another edition
