- mxuribe 6y agoI tried to give VSCode a decent shot...and it is not bad at all; actually pretty good. I do like its customizability, the plugins, etc...and it does check the box of being available on the major operating systems that i use (windows for work, linux for personal)...but it can get quite heavy on resources. I'm on the fence about anything electron-related: great to be able to roll out on numerous OS/platforms, but heavy on resources. Ultimately, because of the heavy overhead - in my mind - i've put vscode as only a second-best text editor to my preferred notepad++. Thank you very much, though, for the recommendation!! p.s. - Because of some comments here, I'm actually trying Geany (seems lightweight, cross-platform, etc.)...we'll see if it can replace notepad++ for me.
