You might be able to convince me that for certain languages and tasks, a Jetbrains editor is better than using a plugged up Vim or Emacs. And the up front cost is well known, and their corporate model is easy to understand. You’ll never convince me, however, that Microsoft’s embrace, extend, extinguish partially proprietary editor that uses the same LSPs as any other LSP client should be used by anyone. I wouldn’t touch it with a 100 foot pole. There are turn key solutions for both Emac, Vim, and Neovim. They can all talk to LSPs, have DAP clients, fuzzy finders, file tree explorers, project managers, remote editing (terminal editors are by nature the ultimate remote editors). Why isn’t he world would you put neovim inside of VSCode when you could just use neovim directly via GUI or terminal.
