> Custom views that replace basic functionality Perhaps with time it'll improve in performance and be fine tuned to a point where I can use it daily - but given it's primarily paid (not 'free with nag screen' like sublime), I can't review it any time soon again. My impression going away from Nova is: It's like Xcode and VSCode had a baby. In defense of Nova, Sublime also can't deal with it. Forget about trying to search-replace - it's simply too slow. However, Nova is a no-go for me because it simply stalls when opening a >2 MB JSON files. VSCode is easy by comparison - a 'peek' window shows up prioritized references. It kept telling me to go to some obscure tab or place somewhere but since it's all symbols, I don't know where to actually go. I had a hard time figuring out if 'Find references' were working. The autocomplete and jump to definition seemed to work well. I really think a good keymapping is the first hurdle people have to overcome, so shipping it with an hotkey extension for Sublime, VSCode, etc. I went back and forward and couldn't understand why my mappings weren't working only to find that it was due to having to use the hotkey editor in a specific way). The transition is made hard because of the odd default key mappings (they hotkey editor is very difficult to use. This is probably not typical, but it's crucial to me. A lot of debugging apps and looking through large crash logs, then looking at application states. For my particular job I tend to debug and work with large files, especially JSON. Ok, so some feedback: I'm sad to report I stopped testing already. I hope to never, ever need to use it (recompile my editor with a change), but the idea of having some of my most valuable resources/investments at risk, with no recourse should the worst happen, is insane to me.

Between Apple's lack of emphasis on long term application BC, and their increasingly locked down hardware (and I type this on an iMac Pro with T2 and firmware security on), I just can't invest my time and energy into the most critical of my development tools (an editor) that isn't going to come with me to any platform or device that I ever end up using, or, more importantly, be hackable. These are my work tools, into which I invest decades of muscle memory and configuration.

That said, I'll never use a toolchain that isn't free software.

I'm glad they built this and their other cool (but proprietary) software, despite the fact that software freedom is really important. I love Panic and I love hacking, and I started hacking on the Mac and will always have a soft spot for the macOS. So why do people constantly ask вЂњdoes anyone really want to develop on a computer that offers many development options?вЂќ The answer is yes, of course people seriously want to develop on an iPad. Pythonista costs $10 and has nearly 1k reviews, so someone must be using it.

Pretty much the only thing you canвЂ™t do is make iPad apps on the iPad, which is a pretty small subset of programmers. There are Git clients available natively as well. There are also language-specific native IDEs like Pythonista and Play.js. The iPad is a computer with a keyboard and mouse and a full-featured web browser. Personally I used AWS Cloud9 which does the same as Codespaces. If you search Twitter for #codespaces youвЂ™ll see after Microsoft announced Github Codespaces (a web-based IDE based on VSCode), much of the attention was on how this will further enable development on an iPad.

I got the idea from a series of blog posts that were written in 2011, so itвЂ™s not a new idea. IвЂ™ve been developing full-time on an iPad for the past two years.
