✨ I choose vscode and feel it is better than neovim, helix or any other similar editors πŸ‘€

#rustlang #rust #python #golang #developers #neovim #vscode #helix #reactjs

@AstraKernel I agree! I love me some Vim, but for serious programming, VSC does so much better for me.
@mttaggart @AstraKernel totally. I've done vim, emacs, atom and IntelliJ products in the past. For me VS Code is the right balance at the moment. Lightweight yet extendible via plugins.
@mttaggart
Talking about which editor is the best is older than many of us in the Fediverse. There will never be a conclusion to this discussion.
@AstraKernel

@pimeys

We have to accept the fact there is no such thing as the best editor for everyone.

It is a personal choice.

For me, vscode is best one

@mttaggart

@AstraKernel
Yeah and for me Helix and Emacs are. You can burn me in a bonfire before I use VSCode :D
@mttaggart
@AstraKernel for rust lapce is pretty good
@AstraKernel For me, any GUI has way to many things going on that distract, so I'm happier in a plain, unconfigured, out-of-the-box #vim (often within #tmux).
But that might also be because I'm not really a developer. I'm mostly doing sysadmin stuff, so I mostly write config files in various formats, shell scripts and personal notes. So vscode would be a massive overkill anyways, and less handy for remote machines, too.

@AstraKernel just note there version without microsoft tracker called vs codium i think i have use it before and it same second try using it with rust server

now i use helix

@AstraKernel I agree! With choosing VSC, I don't have any experience with the others. But I like VSC a lot, so I don't feel like trying other stuff πŸ™ƒ Although I do want to try Helix, kinda curious.

Meanwhile, since the bird site became what it is now, I've been seeing a lot of "vsc sucks!" from some attention-seeking randos there LOL πŸ˜‚

@AstraKernel good choice – there’s a reason it gets recommended so much πŸ‘ Sensible default config, very easy to install plugins, can do pretty much anything you need.

I’m definitely too far down the (Neo)Vim rabbit hole to back out now, but would still recommend VSC to new programmers just because it’s so much easier to get up and running with. Newbies need to be learning programming, not editor-wrangling πŸ˜„

@AstraKernel And if you want to avoid Microsoft's trackers and other non-free components, there is Codium. (like Chromium vs Google Chrome)
@AstraKernel
I did the opposite way. I stoped using big IDEs with tons of plugins, because its starts freezing my computers at some point when I am wokred with them at a long period of time. And then I realized that I don't need all of their features. I need only couple of them, that's can be achived with additional plugins in emacs or neovim. So I started learn about their configurations. And now made my conf in neovim that works well to my use cases. And then I started the same work with emacs. In that time I can say that's emacs much complicated to configure that neovim. Because of emacs lisp. Lua is much simpler
