>Especially VS Code.
Why? :c The next best thing is Atom. And, tragically, Atom is way worse. (Believe me, I wanted it to win the hackable-lite-IDE war, but... it didn't.) I don't like Microsoft, but VS Code won. Although, technically, I use "Code - OSS", which is the no-proprietary-code version.
- grishka 5y agoAtom is also Electron-based. Why Electron text editors at all? I personally use Sublime and vim and don't even consider the electron ones.
- shrimp_emoji 5y agoIf Sublime is as good, then you got me. :p (I can't say; I still need to try it.) I love Kate, although it's less configurable/powerful than Code/Atom, but it's Linux-only. As to vim, I use it for quick things, but I'm not hardcore enough to feel comfortable with editing in a terminal and having to re-memorize how to highlight and copy-paste text.
