It's actually pretty good at generating great code for Xamarin, C# and .NET in general, with also great solutions for Dev Express components.
But it's really bad for .NET MAUI.

@Ranchonyx
It sucks but it became mandatory for a lot of things unfortunately.
Especially if you don't want to rewrite (to a completely different language) a huge project with 15+ years of code history and that is already used by a lot of companies.

@retoor
Exactly, I'm using it in particular for small optimization of existing or new functions, and for boring UI work that just takes a lot of time.
In this case it's really difficult to generate good and working UI structures, it's not smart enough to understand the logic of .NET MAUI structures.

Also the official documentation, which for UWP was great, sucks ass… they’re using examples of UI guidelines for the Surface Duo.. what

@tosensei
“Best performance” maybe isn’t the best way to describe it, because maybe something better exists but I still didn’t find it.
Using it for 15 years now and, except some preview builds, I never had crashes, freezes, issues with it.
I used it for VB.NET, C#, C++, for small and huge projects with IncrediBuild.

I can’t say the same for Eclipse, Qt, Android Studio, JetBrains suite, NetBeans, Bluej, etc.

It depends what you’re building, if you like to compile android applications with your notepad or pen and paper, is up to you: :P

For web my choice is VS Code, after the death of Atom.

Notepad++ for everything else.

@tosensei nice try lol
The only thing that I personally love about JetBrains is their branding, other than that it feels like using Eclipse for every fucking language… in other words, a nightmare for me.
Visual Studio has the best UX, UI and performance in my opinion.

That's why Steam was down the other day, now I know

It happens several times a week for me... in my case probably caused by stress + working on stuff I don't really like at this moment.

@dontbeevil yep, I liked more the old version when it was called “Dev Center”, this one is so badly organized and slow.

@IntrusionCM private code of mine :P

@Fast-Nop I'm not a professional js dev and this is a side project, so the answer is: pure ignorance, I didn't know about its existence and didn't care enough to search for something like that, just opened VS Code and started the project that is 90% PHP (which is checked in real time in VS Code and prevents errors of this kind) and JS is for simple ajax requests and this particular script that is slightly more complex.
You, and others, are right though, I should have used something like that for sure. Thanks for the tip.

@superdupernova it's just this file.

@TeachMeCode it's very handy to save time, and stress in situations like this where you keep searching for the wrong thing.

@dmonkey Yeah, thinking longer about it, it makes totally sense, so the question is more about how efficient the php parser is, I guess a lot.

Thanks for the answer!

@ostream it requires a person knowning how to code on the other side, which is not an issue, and can be very useful to save a lot of time.

After more than a decade in coding, I am too lazy and don't have time to do some bs like:
"Writing a parser to get the values from "a.b.c.d@e!fgh.jlm" formatted string."

It's not difficult to do, it's just tedious, and a tool like ChatGPT can generate code for that in any language you want (including shitty VB6) in a sec.

Why don't use it when you can?
I have to do everything manually because "I am superior"?

@SidTheITGuy it's an awesome search engine with pretty accurate results to not easy search terms.

That tool is pure magic, it makes a lot of boring processes way faster.

e.g. "Update X function written in this legacy language including a particular input case with the same expected output result."

You all missed a point (I didn't write clear enough), €300 is all adapters combined and I've changed 6 over 4 years.
They were between €30 and €60 each.

@jestdotty it's not a lot about praise, more about making him happy, improving his "life" providing something good.
I work for money, but I also work to make good software/design.

@novasurp it was a website redesign in this case, the earlier version was pure trash, horrible with stretched images as backgrounds.

The times where you have committed 100%, did your best and still failed are the worse possible.
What's the value of my life and what's point to continue it if at my best I'm still not enough?

@mansur85 JetBrains Fleet

@jiraTicket I understand there are some rare scenarios where it's useful, and usually in "read-only mode" for other participants, but still I can't understand why it's advertised as a major feature for an IDE.

@SidTheITGuy love it.
Been there, done that multiple times to myself.

@dontbeevil nope

@Nanos it’s the number of posts you can view, not the number of words.
So that technique wouldn’t solve the issue.

@joewilliams007 Not that great unfortunately… the quality is not bad, but they made it too big, a 5.9in version would be a lot better, and a lower price.
I paid €479, the 8 GB of RAM version, it should have costed max €399.
The glyph interface is completly useless and you stop playing with it after a day.

I've bought it only to test future apps I plan to make.

@joewilliams007 I'm using it right now. Really nice work!

Looks awesome and I really like that you've created a completly new UI that doesn't only look good but it's also handy.

@joewilliams007
It's crazy, I've just checked and there are still new people that are downloading it lol
(15 in a month, not a lot but still… no updates in years 😅).

I use an iPhone as my daily, but will check it for sure on my Nothing Phone (1). Thanks! 😉

I consider this kind of frameworks a base for something cool, it helps you to make things faster, but almost in any case I would leave the same style for production final version of a website.
In particular you don't have to lose time to create all grids, margins, paddings, etc.

I usually use spectre.css for this reason, the basic stuff is there, and you can add your style to it very easily.

That sucks!

But I have to admit the same kind of issues were present in UWP development as well.
Missing constants, or even attributes, from one version of an API to another were frequent, with no errors and warnings in Visual Studio or even issues during the validation of the package by Microsoft when you put it on the store. Just crashes and bad ratings on the store.

@kiki fortunately the last time I had to use it was for a uni project years ago.
It's so bad.

@Demolishun but at least, the software made in 1999 that launches dialog v0.1 doesn't crashes because it's still there. :P

True, devRant is the sequel to Yahoo! Answers.

@localpost I got it, but how you obtain the real HEX of that square? (ignoring the fact you have other squares of that color in proximity not in shadow, because it should work for any surface, in the case of the original video is a wood table that doesn't have two points of exact same color, in theory).
