I can't do VSCode anymore. I want to make a big stand about Microsoft and free software and tracking and whatnot, but I can't here. I break those rules at work all the time during time crunches. It's kinda petty, but the bits of screen real estate it steals around the sides of the screen are too distracting for me after having gone full vim for a while. You can hide most of it, but the activity bar keeps showing back up after doing something like opening the git/file explorer/etc panes. The IntelliJ line is a bit better, you can hide everything pretty easy, but I don't always have a corporate license for those, so I tend to avoid depending on them.
