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

[–] nonearther@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Well...obviously them.

[–] exu@feditown.com 3 points 1 year ago

Well, if you learned emacs, you could do everything in it and won't have to change ever again! /s kinda

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.

[–] NixDev@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Parsnip8904 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] NixDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Parsnip8904 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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

Personally though, I use Kate. Ain't got time to learn new keybindings

Am I correct that you also don't get access to the extensions marketplace, though?

hit or miss but many of the popular ones work

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I tried it a few months back, and unfortunately the free marketplace didn't have a number of extensions that make or break VS Code for me.

I settled on relying on my pihole to block as much M$ telemetry as I could.

Is there firefox based vscode? (JOKE)

[–] Contend6248@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sadly with much less extensions, i use it just to compile and flash my marlin 3D printer and every extension needed has to be set up manually, for some reason even then i can't get it to work.

[–] elfahor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

You can change your product.json to gain access to the Microsoft extension repositories. I still don't do it because fuck ms, for the few extensions that I do need I download them as .vsix on the web frontend.

What you think Tauri's potential in cross-platform ui like editors development?
