I’ve used VS Code for a long time, but have recently grown weary of Microsoft’s approach to OSS. I’ve checked out VS Codium which seems like it might be a great option.

What text editor are you using?

    I’m using GNU Emacs, which is, from my experience, great for open source software and decentralized development. Last year, I found an issue in a package/extension, I could make an experiment by modifying and running its code on the fly. I didn’t even need to reload the whole package/extension. So I figured the solution out and submitted a pull request quickly.

    I only really use Vim. Mainly because vi is installed on basically every server and distro, so it is what I got used to.

      1- terminal-based text editor,
      2- with mouse support,
      3- 1000 x better than nano(editor) & vim (just kidding, 5 x better)

        Vim and neovim have mouse support as well. Micro has less plugins and is overall less configurable than (neo)vim. The style sure is different, but in terms of features, vim outclasses micro atm.

          I may break down and learn some vim keybindings soon since so many other Linux or FOSS programs use it or can use it. But, until then, why waste time learning a bunch of stuff when micro allows me to use the newer standard keybindings that most programs use (^s to save; ^v to paste, etc)?

      Same. I’ve been doing some android dev and have to use android studio, and i’ve really been missing vim. Never having your hands leave the keyboard is so much faster.

    I’ll make myself unpopular with Sublime Text and VSCode. 😆
    On the console, however, I actually use VIM almost exclusively.
