I use Visual Studio Code with CPH and Thorium browser. I am just curious about what tools do you use to do competitive programming.

Custom Invocation :)
I use this setup and GNU IceCat.
I saw this comment and thought nor finally remembered his password.
And then I realized it was 23 months ago
SublimeText + gcc = light weight + beginner friendly + infinity pre-built themes
Simplest of them all: vim + gcc
CodeBlocks)
I use Neovim with the competitest plugin. It imports all the testcases automatically from a problem and also automates testing my solution against those testcases.
if there are more than 2 seperate test cases then are all the test cases available to run in the terminal.
VS code with CPH extension and Material UI extention.
VS code + my hands
CLion + Safari
Sublime-text + gcc + local debugging
What do you mean by local debugging?
https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/106004
Windows: Devcpp + TDM-GCC setup
Linux: gedit + bash + gcc
neovim + gcc
Microsoft visual studio^_^
VSCode + CPH all the way
I use 6 monitors to be able to open 6 problems simultaneously. On each monitor I open vim and a problem in a split-screen mode. Then I use 3 keyboards (controlled simultaneously by my two hands and a feet), to code 3 problems simultaneously (at the same time thinking about 3 other problems in background). I'm planning to attach 4 more hands to myself to be able to comfortably code on 6 keyboards using hands only.
Here is photo of my setup (mouse is just for fun, lol):
Nice setup. Instead of getting 4 new hands, I'd suggest that you start training a very important body part and then you will be able to code 4 problems at once.
big fan sir
You may need more monitors to display the questions
https://www.codechef.com/ide :)
what if codechef suddenly gets down while contest is running?
What if your laptop crashes while coding? Thankfully, neither has happened yet, so why worry
lol!!, bro drops jokes and solutions with same ease.
gedit + Chrome
gedit + gcc. Honorable mention to a phase in my life where I upsolved problems with notepad and gcc.
Rust + VSCode + rust-competitive-helper.
GNU Emacs

me too! https://imgur.com/a/uHBEUxo
As I am quite seasoned, the historic 1998 Dev-C++ by Bloodshed (in the last 2021 fork version by Embarcadero), with GCC
I use CLion and sometimes nodepad++ I like both
dev-c++
CodeChef IDE:)
Microsoft Word + brain
Windows + Far Manager + MinGW.
Far is bad as IDE (or I can't use it), but it is good in managing files quickly.
Sorry if my question is stupid, bit is there any way to make FarManager Editor vim-like? I crawled over all WWW and didn't anything useful, besides an advice to add your custom mappings in Far, but maybe there is some simpler solution?
Are either of these what you are looking for?
I’ve seen this, thank you. But im not looking for vim-like navigation in Far, i want the internal Far editor work with vim keybindings(default one is just like note). I watched several [user:tourist]’s and [user:Radewoosh]’s streams and that is exactly what i want, but there is no tutorials how set up Far to make it similar to their cfgs.
The closest I could find was TrueTemplate which is supposedly related to tourist's setup from limited resources I could find.
Yeah, thanks a lot! I’ve seen this plug-in, even installed it, but not used yet. Now I read that using it i can make editor pretend to be vim-like, so I'm satisfied. Thank you very much!
Jupyter Notebook (python)
sublime + cmd
The Jetbrains font is real cool...
At the moment I like to use CLion as it works very well on Linux and it provides a good debugger. I don't use any special tools.
Sublime text with fastOlympicCoding :)
codeblock + microsoft edge (lighter than chrome) and my neurons
IDE : VSCode with C/C++ extension enabled Browser : Firefox Extensions : Competitive Companion, Carrot CF, CPH Submit and CPH Judge (on VSCode)
you need an RTX5090 and 64Gb Ram for the interactive problems brother
I'm visual studio:)
Just use python... Why bother with C++... (Prob a failed ragebait attempt xD)
Personally, I punch into the binary punched cards with my bare hands and feed it into my scanner, which is then translated into code.
