I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

    It’s quite common knowledge, Microsoft does horrible operating systems but great dev tools. Visual Studio (not vscode) was amazing to develop software.

    And thanks god we don’t have to deal with Eclipse anymore.

    The real question would be why the open source community cannot create a better dev tool that’s not outmatched by a glorified text editor.

      Used to use visual studio, I actually far prefer using Vscode now studio is far too heavy and clunky for my liking

        Fair enough. It’s also a beast of its time. Now that everything is JavaScript or similar, vscode just works better.

      1. I hate vscode. I hate that gitlab emulated that shit in its webIDE. I code all day and I’m astonished people have pleasant thoughts about it as I sit and wait for that ugly crud to load.

      2. “Better than eclipse” isn’t the same as “good”

      3. Free software made a better editor in the '80s. Go learn.

      4. No it’s not that steaming shite vi nor its feotid ilk.
