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

    Your daily reminder that VSCode is shit not because of telemetry (take your time foil hat off for one second and hear me out and I say that jokingly with love) but because the extension marketplace is not allowed to be accessed by third party tools (INCLUDING CODIUM) and even then many of the extensions are proprietary, closed source. You’re not even allowed to distribute compiled VSIX files. It’s disgusting. Reading about the troubles gitpod faced that led to the (now) Eclipse Marketplace (idk the name, but it’s for VS Code plugins, don’t be tricked, it’s just owned by Eclipse foundation) is disheartening.

    Those that truly dislike MS and telemetry won’t.

    If I’m using non-free it is Jet Brains.

    I tend to use Kate, KDevelop.

    MS still slurping code into Copilot from Github and telemetry in VSCode.

    VSCode isn’t even that good, idk why people are obsessed with it.

    For anything compiled, Jetbrains beats it 100:1, and for anything interpreted it’s a couple tiers better than Kate.

    Personally, I won’t be losing sleep if I have to stop using VSCode.

      If jetbrains is that much better really depends on the language. Also, jetbrains shit is damn expensive, so not a fair comparison.

        They have free ‘community editions’, I haven’t really found a need for a licence. I’ve only used IntelliJ, PyCharm, and ReSharper though.

        Edit: I meant rider but I was using a student licence for it anyway.

          IntelliJ and PyCharm are the only JetBrains IDEs with community editions. If you want to use CLion for example, you’ll either have to be a student or you have to pay.

    I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.
