    Vscode (or Codium, whatever your preferred variant is) is still free of such junk.

    People act like its an unfriendly IDE, but really, it’s a good text editor that auto detects formats and stuff. Works fast with huge text blocks. You can ignore anything complex.

      To me, it’s just weird how much hype there is about it, even though it’s a fairly standard text editor. The features you mention, I expect from any editor that doesn’t brand itself as ‘featherweight’ or whatever.

        I mean, VSCode is much deeper than that. To be blunt, few other IDEs, much less text editors, can compete with the critical mass its extension repo has accumulated, with, (as a random example) support for Paradox Script for game modding.
