I’ve yet to give VSCode a fair shake. I used IntelliJ a lot back in the day. IntelliJ is special. Last I had seen they employ their own language tooling for almost everything. Nowadays the CLI (TUI) experience is capable of a LOT. CLI editors have fantastic integration with languages via LSP. You end up with similarly fat but more modular tooling. They offer a modularity and options that give you more choice in building the experience you want. (Not just color schemes and layouts) You have to do more work to configure and learn your tools but it makes so much more personalization of workflow possible. My personal CLI tooling for git is really nice and hacking on it keeps teaching me more about git creating a flywheel of optimization and joy from using things I made. There is a cost to changing your personal workflow. As nice as some new and shiny things appear I don’t like flip flopping on my personal/professional setup. There comes a time when you start fresh. That will be when I try something different.
