Ask HN: Alternatives to VSCode?
After the recent change where Microsoft started adding their advertisements into your commit messages in VSCode, I really want to migrate away from it. However, I'm really struggling to find alternatives. Many people were recommending Zed, so I spent time now trying to make it work, and unfortunately, it just doesn't work (I encountered a plethora of problems when trying to run a Jupyter notebook, and in the end I got it to a state where it churns for a long time and then silently fails without an error message)

- baobabKoodaa 6mo agoAre you saying that it should work for Jupyter notebooks?

- theandrewbailey 6mo agoFor the times I need to use VSCode, I use VSCodium instead. I'm not sure how this recent Copilot issue affects them though. https://vscodium.com/ https://vscodium.com/
- baobabKoodaa 6mo agoSeems like VSCodium just VSCode. They describe it like this: > The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases.
- m463 6mo agosounds like that might be a good start... some chromium repos remove the nonsense from chrome. (most of it)
- gamander 6mo agoThere are several VSCode based AI editors. I use Trae from Bytedance.
- baobabKoodaa 6mo agoWhich of these projects will keep up-to-date with the original VSCode? (e.g. apply user-hostile changes that Microsoft pushes)
- mocenigo 5mo agoTry Zed again later, Jupyter support is improving.
- baobabKoodaa 5mo agoThis seems like the best answer tbh.
