What are you guys running when you are writing code?

I run IntelliJ and a browser, and mostly call it a day.

Got my workchats and email in one virtual desktop, a checkpoint of what I was previously working on in another, YouTube playing music in another. All controllable with hotkeys, with a UI customized down exactly how I want it. And with no fear of an "update" breaking my setup.

Work code: vscode, slack, teams, browser. These are always open. Outlook if I want to check my mail.

Personal code: Vim (more recently, zed) and a browser.
