> VSCode It's not even good! This has to be the strangest cargo-cult following of all options you could have. If you're going to use a proprietary closed editor anyway, use something like a jetbrains IDE. At least then you will have a lot of very complete and well-integrated features.

> It's not even good! This has to be the strangest cargo-cult following of all options you could have. I don't think that's true. It's lighter and faster than big IDEs while being way more accessible than them and vim/emacs. It handles most of what you throw at it, has lots of very good extensions, and you can easily use your shell. If you don't understand what's good about it, that's a failure on your part. > If you're going to use a proprietary closed editor anyway It's open source though. > use something like a jetbrains IDE My experience with jetbrains has been mostly terrible. That doesn't mean that their IDE isn't good, but it means that they are worse than VSCode for me. > At least then you will have a lot of very complete and well-integrated features. I already have that.

The plugin system works because of a workaround to a proprietary server, which will inevitably be broken on purpose when it gains any traction.

        > This version is crippled. The plugin system works because of a workaround to a proprietary server, which will inevitably be broken on purpose when it gains any traction. I don't think that's exactly true. The marketplace server is proprietary, but you can still install extension by hand https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md#extensions-marketplace https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md#ext.... It's not ideal, but it's far from crippled.
