A community discussion thread on Lobsters where developers share their favourite tools. Popular picks include Helix and Neovim as editors, Fish and Nushell as shells, Jujutsu as a Git alternative, Mise for version management, Atuin for shell history sync, and Nix for reproducible dev environments. A recurring theme is the preference for tools with good defaults over endless customization, especially as developers get older and busier.
