Why don't you use an editor which has nothing to do with Microsoft? "generally fine" is not a good reason to be involved with a predatory company.

- d3nj4l 5y agoBecause it’s hard to beat the ecosystem around VSCode. VSCode extensions take it from an OK text editor to an almost-emacs replacement.
- wumpus 5y agoFunny thing, I waited a little and then added some new, great emacs implementations of everything people were saying was so great about VSCode.
- subsection1h 5y agoYeah, lsp-mode for Emacs exists because Microsoft created LSP for VS Code, so I'm glad VS Code was created even though I'll never use it. (I installed VS Code to see what the fuss was about and the first thing I wanted to do was hide the tabs because tabs are a useless eyesore in a text editor. But when I searched for a way to hide them, I read that it wasn't possible. Madness. I'll never understand how tech enthusiasts can enjoy using software that provides them with so little control.)
