binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing - GitHub - VSCodium/vscodium: binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing
Because while new and fancy editors come and go (I’m looking at you atom/brackets/sublime), vim and emacs have been steadily moving along for over 30 years.
The time you spend coming up to speed with either will still be usable for decades.
I’m still using sublime to this day. It keeps getting worse and falling behind VSCode with every new feature that never comes gets to it, but I have so many pet peeves with VSCode that everytime I try it I soon give up. I wish there were more options these days, but as the expected feature sets get more complex the number of options keep going down.

Vim and EMACS require tons of plugins and a brain transplant to feel confortable using them.
And the new personality tends to be somewhat evangelical about the editors 😄
Personally i find emacs plugin packs like Doom Emacs to make it infinitely nicer, no brain transplant needed
The plural of anecdote is not data.
New, since the 80s
I meant the new implanted personality. Not historically new.
But isn’t atom and vscodium almost the same stuff?
Not at all.
Atom was an editor made by the GitHub team prior to being acquired by Microsoft.
At some point, MS decided to promote their vscode editor instead. The atom project has since been ended.
I was under the impression that was a fork of atom
No, but there is a fork of atom being developed called Pulsar.
