I just saw this story and I want to ditch VSCode https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/vscode-extensions-with-9-million-installs-pulled-over-security-risks/

Visual Studio Professional mostly because it is included for my job and we develop on mostly Microsoft stack. VS Code for simple text editing outside of a project.
Doom emacs. There is no end to customizability with emacs. Doom provides a great starting point for most things.
For macOS and iOS development I use Xcode (don’t really have another choice), but otherwise I am using Kate. Kate has support for macOS and Windows in addition to Linux.
I’m not touching VSCode, I don’t want to use an electron app as a code editor, nor want to use something with Microsoft spyware and propriety plugins.
For an actual IDE, Jetbrains. But I rarely need an actual IDE and will just generally use Vim for everything.
Helix. I hate tweaking my ide. I just want to launch it and get to work. Setting up my LSP/formatter/theme is the most i’m willing to put up with and that’s all Helix asks for to be an IDE.
I use JetBrains IDEs. IntelliJ, Pycharm, Goland, and Webstorm.
I’m a webdev and I mainly work with Vanilla JS, React and PHP - I use phpStorm now. Everything mostly works out of the box, it auto-detects my PHP environment, composer install (which is basically just npm for PHP), nice-to-have features like Stylelint and ESLint are also integrated and enable themselves by default if specific config files are found inside a project folder…it’s just nice. Open a project, see it do all of its magic, start to code.
Previously I’ve worked with VSCode and I needed a plugin for every single feature and every plugin had its own settings that you needed to be aware of. It was horrible. I was configuring my own IDE more than I was actually writing code. I get that it’s probably more flexible than phpStorm, but I just don’t have time do dig into plugin settings all of the time - and god forbid I work with a project from another developer and he uses a different extension than me for Stylelint or formatting .md files…
Neovim (heavily customized configuration) + tmux for me. Switched from Jetbrains IDE and VSCode to this ~5 years ago. I use neovim with every language.
Fast to use, one app for all and I have customized that to my liking and I already spent half of my time in terminal while working anyway. + knowing how to use vim helps a lot when configuring servers remotely.
At work Rider, at home Emacs. Also trying out Zed at home.
Still enjoying using Sublime. If I had to leave I’d probably go back to vi.
VSCode! I’m yet to find another editor that runs as smoothly on remote machines. Zed has been getting much better at this, but it’s still too buggy to consider a switch.
Check out VSCodium, which is open source telemetryless binaries of VSCode
Edit: Nevermind, it seems you already use it
I appreciate the thought!
As far as I’ve tested it, vscodium doesn’t support the same remote extensions that vscode does, it’s very silly.
That’s simply due to the repository VSCodium uses to pull extensions from (in the name of using open source extensions). Other (proprietary) extensions can be installed by downloading the .vsx file and installing manually. In most cases, though, open source alternatives to proprietary extensions exist.
Pulsar because I am (or at least was and will be, I’ve been a bit absent recently) part of the team developing it. Its a fork of Atom to continue development after GitHub pulled the plug, entirely community developed and focused.
I used and loved Pulsar for a while, it was neat and I enjoyed using it, kudos for your work…
As an ex atom user I’m using Pulsar right now.
Android studio, clion and sometimes vs code but I’m not really happy with it.
I don’t! Mine isn’t integrated. I edit the code in one software and compile and run it in another.
I use emacs for almost everything. It took time to get used to. And some time to configure things. But now I’m just riding off my years old config files and packages I wrote as my use case haven’t changed.
I use python, rust, C, R, jupyter notebook, org mode, latex, markdown, PDFs, xml, org-roam, etc.
