But of course we don't mind anyone using a different IDE, but I suspect the formatter problems will grow with the size of their commits. And running the formatter out-of-band means getting the formatting as separate commits or even mixed with unrelated change. If you want to configure multiple code formatters you will find that there is much more work. For example I am working on one OSS project where we decided to use a few more advanced features of Eclipse, including running the formatting and other code fixup on each save. OTOH it duplicates some configuration efforts (but I think that should be negligible) and sometimes you can get extra boni from committing fully to one IDE. The official build is done by Ant on the build server in any case, so why should they? Of course there should be at least one officially supported one people can default to, but if someone else feels more comfortable to deviate that's fine. I have been working in environments where people didn't care about which IDE you are using. But we could benefit from more such standards-driven Standards: using an Ant or Maven project file instead of a proprietary IDE Do they care that eachĭeveloper has access to the same features pertinent to the project, like remoteĭebugging for instance? Absolutely. But do people care that each developerīuilds their test environment the same way? Yes. DoesĪnybody really care what fonts you set to edit text? Does anybody really care This kind of scenario is why I wish there were better IDE standards. I want to maintain some facade of respect on I still voted IntelliJ but it wasn't to be. ![]() ![]() The main problem there was the large and varying number We recently chose an IDE as a standard tool across a very large ![]()
