    Alternatively you can use and support a true community-driven editing environment dedicated to preserving your freedom, like vim/neovim or emacs.

      But that’s something new to learn and configure. I just want to code why should I spend my time learning another text editor when vscodium is fine

        Who doesn’t want to go through learning of text editor and pain of configuring instead of actually coding?

      lapce is a vscode replacement that has all the sugar that people love and it’s blazingly fast. It’s still in alpha but I’m very hopeful for it’s future.

        I have looked at lapce and I am hopeful it will mature enough to replace vscode. I haven’t had the time to see if it works enough to replace vscode for my daily work, but I am planning on trying it again soon.

        Fleet seems promising but not sure how I feel about another JetBrains editor.

          Glad you liked it :) It still has issues but the development is happening at breakneck pace. I’m planning on daily driving it once it goes beta.

          I also have conflicting feelings about jetbrains IDEs. Does fleet have a community edition? I use pycharm sometimes but also hate it sometimes.

            Right now fleet is basically a community edition. They had stated there will be a paid version. So I am wondering how many features will be locked behind a paywall. Hopefully they have all the features from the beta available and just add some enterprise features to the paid version.

            I really miss atom, would have been great if MS didn’t kill that project. It would be interesting to see how it would have compared to code.

              Hopefully it’ll stay that way. Otherwise there is EAP I suppose. That’s what I do with webstorm.

              For me it’s Sublime text. It’s blazingly fast and robust, but because it isn’t as popular as code and not open, there aren’t as many plugins. I honestly think that if it had been opensource, it would have captured the market share that vscose holds now.

          Are there extensions for Kate as there are for VS Codium?

            Not remotely as many, but yes. I find that for the work I do It’s more than adequate.

      Emacs isn’t super great for C#. The language server is a bit hit and miss.

        That is incorrect. Both are pretty barebones from the start and have a big pool of extensions to get the functionality that you need. It might be more involved on the vim/nvim side, but that is more of an accessibility VS personalization thing.

        There are even sort of distributions for nvim that bring you all the common functionalities already configured.
