VSCode is a good, fast editor that has great flexibility and an extensive feature set out of the box. Sorry Sublime, but VSCode is just better.

I used Sublime since 2015, and after using VSCode for several months, I realized I’m not going back to Sublime. Their plugins ecosystem is totally broken, every plugin is abandoned.

Vim and other bigoted editors can go fuck themselves. Unlike Vim users, I have actual work to do, so I don’t have time to polish my configs. I want things working out of the box.

What languages are you using in VS Code?

It's the best text editor, but for my purposes I prefer an IDE.

it's 2023, all the config you need in vim is a lsp server.

@antigermanist I'm too stupid for Vim as my primary editor, I only use it on my servers

Hmmmm I used an IDE because I want things to work out the box, it's one of the (many) reasons I don't like VSCode (I miss Atom)

@BordedDev VSCode is just a less beautiful, more practical, way faster Atom. It was clearly inspired by Atom.

@int32 JS, TS, HTML, CSS, SQL

@kiki I find it to be less practical and more cumbersome. Glad you like it, enjoy what you enjoy :D

@BordedDev but Atom is way slower though, isn't it?

@int32 oh come on you're not stupid <3

it's not that hard, it just have a learning curve.

Actual programming is way more complicated than vim

@kiki also i just did fucked myself

It was good, thanks

@antigermanist hi, I never thought I’d talk to Vim itself! What are your pronouns?

btw vim username is free

@kiki Nah, when Atom was around it was faster for me

@BordedDev when was that exactly? I bet VSCode was slower on launch, but now it’s as fast as Sublime

@kiki And Atom isn't developed anymore. Last I used VSCode was a couple of years ago for some embedded development (and trying cursor more recently, but I don't consider a couple of minutes of having it open as "usage")

and Microsoft bought GitHub just to kill atom and force vscode on everyone

atom was superior to everything

we warned them it would happen. Microsoft said they wouldn't kill atom and it isn't happening. killed the atom project a year later, of course. why would a company develop 2 IDEs

I used to think they bought GitHub just to kill atom because it was clearly superior. but now looking back Microsoft was messing with AIs for a while so they probably always wanted to steal code to train coding AIs which is pretty funny because at the time that was an even bigger not-allowed conspiracy theory but one that even I found went too far for my tastes...

@jestdotty everybody hated atom when it was around

@kiki just in time compilation: https://youtube.com/watch/...

I haven't watched this yet but I could probably guess some of it and the timing of me finding it and you trolling is pretty great

"Vim and other bigoted editors can go fuck themselves. Unlike Vim users, I have actual work to do, so I don’t have time to polish my configs. I want things working out of the box."

lmaoooo, this is so true. I have a script to **build** my editor config files.

I don't like VSCode, but take my plusplus nonetheless.

Especially last line

@kiki Yeah for JS, TS, HTML, CSS and SQL it's fine. I was trying to make it play nice with PHP, but it broke often and made me use bad words, so I switched to PhpStorm. I am much calmer now lol.

@int32 VSCode wasn’t even out when I touched PHP last time :D

@billy090 @retoor

@kiki I gave up :p
