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.
I use JetBrains IDEs. IntelliJ, Pycharm, Goland, and Webstorm.
Helix because it’s simple and works without tweaking it.
Emacs with evil-mode or when I am banging around the console, neovim.
Helix. I hate tweaking my ide. I just want to launch it and get to work. Setting up my LSP/formatter/theme is the most i’m willing to put up with and that’s all Helix asks for to be an IDE.
VSCode cuz I couldn’t find a good open source alternative written in c++ or rust that isn’t just a terminal text editor that needs a trillion plugins/configs to run (I would have tried zed if they ever made a version for windows, seems like the most promising ide to vsc)
VSCodium is the best we can get for now it seems.
Zed
Kate just because I have to learn coding and it was installed and idgaf
Neovim
Same. I’ve had a few big config purges and migrations every few years, but I’m always neovim.
I started using Neovide as a frontend so people could follow what I’m doing (it adds animated cursor movement, etc.) I actually found that I really like it and rarely use a terminal to run neovim now.
I switch between VSCode and Notepad++ depending on what I am doing.
Not sure why you would ditch a program for correctly responding to a security threat.
Ditto. I also don’t use off brand plugins. Just the ones I need from major publishers.
This. At work i use visual studio ( .net wpf/blazor/maui ) with vscode on the side. At home i use vscodium for my .net/c/c++ work and sometimes notepad++ for other c stuff. Depends if i open 1 file quickly or working on a project
Because I’m looking for FOSS right now

Is the closest. It is literally VSCode without the MS telemetry.
Do you mean https://vscodium.com/ ?
I saw the security article, but that sounds like it needs to be tackled by MSFT, the way Google has to handle Chrome extensions.
Have been a paid Jetbrains user for years, especially PyCharm. But recently, I had to do some front-end web development with ionic/Capacitor and Vue, and ionic only had a VsCode plugin. A few weeks later, came across Cursor which is a fork of VsCode with LLM support, and all the same plugins worked.
Still keeping my PyCharm subscription, but am wobbly on whether I’ll re-up next year.
I use vscodium which is vscode with all the telemetry ripped out. Anybody can make malicious extensions for any IDE, so I don’t see what’s speccial in that regard. It’s just a reminder that you want to be careful about extensions you install.
I’m just starting to learn to code via VSCode…
Do you guys actually think it’s worth switching? I guess it’s better to switch after you just started than when you’re in deep.
Nah, you’re good.
