Because...it's a good IDE? I'll take having to occasionally change a setting or two to avoid some annoyances in a otherwise great and fully-featured IDE over literally just a console text editor any day of the week.
Not that it's my main IDE, I prefer JetBrains stuff, but I'm tired of hearing y'all bitch about VS Code like it's trash when in reality, even just out of the box, it's still far more capable than most power users' Emacs setups.
- aulin 3y agoCould you list some of these features that make VSCode far more capable? I always wonder if I should move on from emacs at some point to a more capable IDE. If you think emacs is "just a console text editor" though you may not be the best person to answer.
- Nullabillity 3y agoClearly (at least some) people don't trust VSCode.. or we wouldn't have the OP in the first place. If you don't trust something, the long-term solution isn't to try to work around it (until the next version comes out and they find a new way to breach your trust), it's to stop using the thing you don't trust.
- xigoi 3y agoThere are many pre-made configs that can change Neovim into a fully featured IDE. And it still doesn't require a full browser engine and selling your soul to Microsoft to run.
