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/

VSCode! I’m yet to find another editor that runs as smoothly on remote machines. Zed has been getting much better at this, but it’s still too buggy to consider a switch.
Check out VSCodium, which is open source telemetryless binaries of VSCode
Edit: Nevermind, it seems you already use it
I appreciate the thought!
As far as I’ve tested it, vscodium doesn’t support the same remote extensions that vscode does, it’s very silly.
That’s simply due to the repository VSCodium uses to pull extensions from (in the name of using open source extensions). Other (proprietary) extensions can be installed by downloading the .vsx file and installing manually. In most cases, though, open source alternatives to proprietary extensions exist.
While this workaround exists, it breaks Microsoft’s Visual Studio Marketplace terms of use: https://aka.ms/vsmarketplace-ToU :/
Godot because i dont know any benefits of using another app exclusively for code
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.
Just move to VSCodium, which is VSCode with the telemetry removed! That’s what I’m on and it’s great.
Nah, you’re good.
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 JetBrains IDEs. IntelliJ, Pycharm, Goland, and Webstorm.
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.
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.
Kate just because I have to learn coding and it was installed and idgaf
Emacs with evil-mode or when I am banging around the console, neovim.
Visual Studio Professional mostly because it is included for my job and we develop on mostly Microsoft stack. VS Code for simple text editing outside of a project.
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.
Zed
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.
VSCodium, the opensource, free-of-MSspyware Clone of VSCode.
Sure enough, Take Care about what Extensions you Install and why u need them.
