Pros

“I faced some difficulty in the beginning because the program does not support a back-end programming language. But using it for a period of time I saw that the program was designed in a good way to make it easier for us to create a front-end layouts.”

Pros

“The ability to add plugins and adjust the environment to fit different workflows is a big advantage, especially for developers working on different types of projects.”

Swarnima G.

Software Engineer

“The interface also takes some time to get used to, but after working with it for a while, it becomes more comfortable to navigate. Despite some performance issues and occasional glitches, it is still a reliable IDE for serious development work.”

Swarnima G.

Software Engineer

“The site has been developed over the years, so it includes both static and dynamic pages that retrieve data from a PostgreSQL database. As it has grown over time, it has become quite complex, and a basic text editor is sometimes insufficient.”

Luca L.

IT Analyst and Developer

Cons

“I face a delay in displaying interface layout when I work with large files.”

Sami A.

Software Developer

Cons

“The interface can feel dated compared to newer IDEs, and performance often slows down when working with many plugins.”

Hrithik V.

Software Engineer - Trading Systems

“Plugin management can be another pain point. While there are many plugins available, setting them up or dealing with compatibility issues is not always smooth.”

Swarnima G.

Software Engineer

“The interface can feel cluttered and a bit outdated compared to more modern IDEs.”
