Visual studio code. There's nothing else that's anywhere near as good that doesn't cost money. Those annoying terminal text editors just don't do it for me. I need code autocomplete and do not understand how there exist people who have the patience to get by without it. I do not have the time to be switching tabs 20 times a second because I can't remember function parameter overloads. That intellisense autocomplete is just too good.
VSCodium exists. Not sure whether it has intellisense by default but might be worth a try. It is open source and without all the Microsoft telemetry
You could just use vs codium as a fully open source option.
Yes, but installing plugins is a pita
both GNU emacs and vim can have autocompletion powered by the same language servers that vscode uses. They support the same features (jump to definition, rename symbol under cursor etc etc) as well.
I suspect the op doesn't realize that you need to setup plugins in order to achieve this functionality. But yes, the functionality on VS Code that provides auto complete is from Language Servers and Neovim and other editors do support the Language Server Protocol via plugins.
