I think that’s why VSCode is so popular. It’s a very powerful text editor, not a light version of an IDE.

- simonw 5y agoI've spent my entire career avoiding IDEs, and now VS Code has finally sucked me into what I'm increasingly suspicious is an IDE cunningly disguised as a text editor. I use it to edit random text files full of notes too, because I trust it to bring back my unsaved work if my laptop crashes.
- bootlooped 5y agoEverybody I know that uses VIM and VS Code uses them with a bunch of plugins to make them more IDE-like. The result will still probably be more performant than a true IDE, but the downside is there is additional setup time and brittleness. The JetBrains IDEs, at least the ones I've used, just work.
