I use Sublime Text over VSCode, a paid tool, and I am glad to pay for it as I use it something like 8-10 hours every day. The licence is $80 and can last for years and the tool is very high quality. The answer is not always open source, even if I think that the contribution of open source to the overall ecosystem is both positive and invaluable, as it clearly empowers individuals. The dangerous trend is concentration of everything. We don't have to use every services from Google or Apple etc. I only use Google Maps from Google, nothing else. I use iOS from Apple, but I barely use my phone these days. We need more diversity to have less corporate control, increase healthy competition and mitigate the political risks.
