ZioCain27115yWell if you use VIM instead of VSC you'll also be able to do other stuff while you're at it

Mr-Myrk5335yJetbrains stuff blows MS out of the water though nowadays. At least the code intelligence stuff. Sublime has a better editor though

@Mr-Myrk What drugs you take? You're clearly outta your mind with that statement.

VS Code:
- is non-free software due to being based on Electron (non-free blobs)
- is bloated as hell due to being based on Electron (why boot up a whole fucking browser when you want to have a bit of text editing?)
Vim:
- is free software
- is not bloated
Don't get me wrong I do use IDEs, but your point is invalid due to IDEs still being slower than just plain text editors, even if your resources are abundant. -
When you’re already in CLI and wanna do a quick edit on a config file. I’d rather just do everything without having to move my mouse, find the txt file, open it, etc.
It seems trivial but all those movements add up to your day. -
Try editing a 8GB file w/ vsc :) my coleague tried. 32GB ram was far from enough.
With vim on the other hand -- eZ! -
mathume985yDepends on your goals. I love vim for quick tasks, reviews, but use graphical IDE for more complicated stuff :)

skydhash1345yFirst, for all my needs, an IDE is not necessary (JS Dev). and the VIM way is the good way!
