vscode would be dropped like a stone
- bhouston 4y agoNot until there is a viable alternative. But with the integration of Github Co-Pilot, they can now make subscription fees from all of those users of VSCode.
- bogwog 4y agoThere’s already a de-Microsofted fork called VSCodium. Most people would probably migrate there, and development will proceed independently.
- bhaney 4y agoViable alternatives to VSCode have been around since the 90s
- zer0tonin 4y agoI've never used VsCode, so I'm pretty sure viable alternatives are around
- albrewer 4y agoSublime Text was my go-to for a long time, and still is when I'm not working on a formal project.
- ecshafer 4y agoI don't understand why anyone would use VSCode, now. Between Intellij, Vim, Emacs, Sublime Text there are at least 4 better Editors / IDE for any given language.
- scintill76 4y agoDue to JetBrains’s (alleged?) links to Russia, their products are banned at some companies. :(
- doetoe 4y agoThe founders are Russian, but they actually condemned the invasion of Ukraine, and suspended sales in Russia and Belarus
- therealdrag0 4y agoTbh for me it’s the better plug-in UX and the built in debugger. Of course I use IJ for real stuff.
- mjhay 4y agoIt's nowhere near good enough that people will pay for it. IntelliJ it is not.
- sumtechguy 4y agoNo kidding if I have to pay for it I am going to pay for something that is way better. I use it because it is free (me being a cheap fool) and better than eclipse.
