I've been using #vscode for a long time now, both at work and in private. I remember switching to it felt weird and lightweight and it took me a bit to get used to. But ever since I've had the feeling on depending on #ms which I battled with "oh well it's #opensource so if ms ruins it, there will be forks".

Lately however they went all in #ai being the primary focus. That made me realise that sooner or later they are gonna gate keep with that "bonus AI features" that you can't get otherwise or you already pay for.
So I started looking for alternatives and initially landed on the #Zed text editor. That works great and is astonishingly fast!
But zed also started the same play as ms, put as many AI features as possible as a monetization strategy.

So when I found out that neovim also has mouse supprt, I finally got to setup #neovim via #lazyvim and I was pleasantly surprised how good it is. Even the supoort for #flutter is better the on zed. It's basically same as on the officially supported vscode! Looking forward to a new journey with #opensource

@nelov I'll never admit it to him, but a guy at work got me using Helix and once you get it right - it's perfect. The enshittification of Atom was sad to see, but wholly inevitable when you think about it. Microsoft are no friends of open source.
@redpenguin oh yeah I remember atom, I was just getting to know it when #mircoslop bought and instantly killed it. Such a shame
