I just saw this story and I want to ditch VSCode https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/vscode-extensions-with-9-million-installs-pulled-over-security-risks/
Helix + the appropriate set of LSPs.
It’s like neo vim without the need the manage plugins. That and it uses select -> action instead of vim style action -> select, which makes more sense to me.
JetBrains. They’re paid, but they’re just that good.
I keep using emacs, mainly because it has an innovative ecosystem that provides interesting ways to work - meow, consult, corfu, eglot, treesitter - so cool how these pieces for together.
VSCodium, the opensource, free-of-MSspyware Clone of VSCode.
Sure enough, Take Care about what Extensions you Install and why u need them.
VSCode + Vim keybindings + Metals for Scala development. I used to use IntelliJ (paid and free) + the Scala plug-in, and Pycharm (free). For Scala I’d be fine with either VSCode or Jetbrains, just depends on who is paying (or not paying). I suspect that Python support in VSCode is a lot better these days so it might be a viable option to Pycharm. I need to check out VSCodium, if it works well with Metals and gets frequent updates I might make the switch.

VSCode! I’m yet to find another editor that runs as smoothly on remote machines. Zed has been getting much better at this, but it’s still too buggy to consider a switch.
Check out VSCodium, which is open source telemetryless binaries of VSCode
Edit: Nevermind, it seems you already use it
I appreciate the thought!
As far as I’ve tested it, vscodium doesn’t support the same remote extensions that vscode does, it’s very silly.
That’s simply due to the repository VSCodium uses to pull extensions from (in the name of using open source extensions). Other (proprietary) extensions can be installed by downloading the .vsx file and installing manually. In most cases, though, open source alternatives to proprietary extensions exist.
While this workaround exists, it breaks Microsoft’s Visual Studio Marketplace terms of use: https://aka.ms/vsmarketplace-ToU :/
