Which IDE The Big Ones use?

[BrokeBody]

Which IDEs do team of professionals use in corporations, IF that corporation is using open solutions? Which IDEs are the most popular when it comes to The Big Guys?

Many people use Vim / Emacs, and Eclipse.

Ermm... Again...

Which IDEs serious corporations use, those that use open solutions?

[nitro_n2o]

well.. it depends on the programming language, and the employees themselves... I personally don't prefers IDE's vim is the way to go, but when projects grow and different people write different snippets and when you need an easy way to share and mange your software you'll certainly need an IDE, which is Eclipse.
Eclipse is an open source and mainly for Java, however you can download extensions and modules to use it to develop in which ever language you like. I knw i guy works in a big company and they wanted to buy and IDE however after using Eclipse they totally changed their minds and r using it heavily right now..

In short, go with Eclipse

@ OP: Sorry, but that is what a lot of corporate developers use. One developer I work with spends 8-10 hours a day coding for a major financial services company and does all his development inside emacs. He's been coding this way since he first tried emacs on my Atari ST 18 years ago.

Not every company will insist on their developers using a specific IDE or set of development tools. Some of the actually let you use the tools you are comfortable with if it ensures you will productive and meet the necessary time-lines for development projects.

Eclipse, for sure, it's the second most famous IDE in the world, just behind Visual Studio. But Eclipse is open-source, and VS is....., emrr, you know the rest :-). Seriously, go with Eclipse, and you won't regret (I'm using Eclipse heavily at work, and all my company devs do so too...wait, IIRC, one guy is using IntelliJ IDE, and one guy is actually using Gvim on Gentoo, but he's crazy geek anyway :p)

Again, Emacs is not an IDE, but you can integrate a lot of tools with it....
And Eclipse...

Then you don' t know much about emacs. Because of the various extensions for emacs, it is as much an IDE as Eclipse, Anjuta, or Monodevelop. Many developers use it exactly this way. And yes, I am talking about highly paid professionals.

I think Eclipse was/is the most popular Linux-compatible IDE used by large corporations. There was a survey about it a year or two ago, but I can't seem to find it on Google. :|

probably You are right:

In my opinion eclipse is near (or on) the top now, however I do not have any clean statistic data to prove that :)

If You want to start working with some kind of IDE eclipse would be a good choice. If you are going to work in serious team probably they will let You chose the tools You want work with - as someone said - It is not problem to develop using emacs (if You are very familiar with it) or other.

The company I work at (its not really a _big_ company), uses Visual Studio. But I don't use it and it's not open source.
I do all of my coding at work on some editor called EditPlus.

Corporations usually do require an IDE of some sort to manage a project, but most developers develop their modules with or without one. The integration stuff is done by the people managing the build process, for which they usually prefer an IDE.

Why would they do that, lol? Why waste resources.

You got me wrong. Emacs is almost an O.S :).

Our company (approx 60 devs, creating mostly webapps, using mixed Windows and Linux machines):

80% eclipse
9% netbeans
10% IDEA (on windows)
1% other (one guy uses emacs)

//Approx

Eclipse is a good IDE.
