I refuse to use VS Code on principle. It has captured a staggering percentage of software development, across many software disciplines. Somehow ARM/Keil has been persuaded to go all-in on VS Code and will deprecate their "legacy" IDE, which will cause trouble for any hold-out embedded firmware developers.
- nerdsniper 10mo agoI believe their legacy IDE was a fork of Eclipse.
- steve1977 10mo agoConsidering VS Code is a kind of a spiritual successor of Eclipse, especially as it was created by Eric Gamma, this even makes sense in a way.
- dlisboa 10mo ago> It has captured a staggering percentage of software development In hindsight it's obvious why: it was the only free editor that has a product mindset and a product team behind. Microsoft put heavy hitters on it, some of their best engineers, treated it as some companies treat their core products. Other IDEs/editors are mostly open source with no real direction and resources, or are proprietary expensive software. It's unfortunate but to compete with VS Code you need a lot.
