alt Hacker News> you may not use VS Code or Zed or Cursor or Windsurf or Jetbrains while developing your game
Just to nitpick, AAA game developers probably don't use the editors you mentioned since they do native applications.

Interesting. I don't do games, so I may be wrong, but I thought a lot of Unreal Engine devs used Jetbrains. So what editors do they use? Are there current IDEs or code editors shipping in 2025 that don't have any LLM-based coding features?

What do you think they use?
I work in mobile games and practically everyone is using either VSCode or some Jetbrains IDE. A few use Visual Studio but it has AI autocomplete too.
