# What are some of your favourite developer tools?

**[Lobsters](https://daily.dev/sources/lobsters)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

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.
