VSCode with VsVim or whatever plugin. It has the combination I like. Multi-cursor fills in most of the gaps I don’t like.

I’ve tried Neovim variants a few times. I usually get stuck at something and don’t have the time to figure it out. I need to take that time to learn everything and get it right but I get tired.

I write code every day at my job. I use vim.

It does everything I need it to do, and it works exactly the same way on every system I touch, and functions the same way since I started using it decades ago (aside from being able to use arrow keys now instead of hjkl)

If I HAVE to do any coding on Windows, I use notepad++.

Neovim

I use emacs for almost everything. It took time to get used to. And some time to configure things. But now I’m just riding off my years old config files and packages I wrote as my use case haven’t changed.

I use python, rust, C, R, jupyter notebook, org mode, latex, markdown, PDFs, xml, org-roam, etc.

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.

mostly gedit nowadays, but i’m more on the infrastructure side now, grain of salt.

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.

I don’t! Mine isn’t integrated. I edit the code in one software and compile and run it in another.

At work Rider, at home Emacs. Also trying out Zed at home.

Recently switched from VsCodium to neovim - but still use Codium for some specific tasks.

My setup customization focuses around Telescope, Treesitter, Trouble & Blink.

But the advice I got was to start with vim keybindings in VSCode. I used those for six weeks until I got the hang of the basics and it had gone from frustrating to somewhat second nature.

Then I made the move.

I still use Codium for Terraform work (I have struggled to get the Terraform LS working well in neovim and I don’t use it often enough to warrant the effort) and as a GUI git client - I like the ability to add a single line from multiple files and I haven’t looked up how to do it any other way - I’ve got other stuff to do and it’s not slowing me down.

But I grew to hate Codium / VS code tabs in larger codebases. I was spending so much time looking for open tabs ( I realise this is a me problem). While neovim has tabs, it’s much more controlled and I typically use them very differently and very sparingly.

If I need to look up a data structure I just call it up temporarily with Telescope via a find files call or a live grep call (both setup to only use my project directory by default), take a peak, and move on.

The thing is - security risks are going to exist anywhere you install plugins you haven’t audited the code for. Unless you work in an IDE where there’s a company guaranteeing all plugins - there are always going to be risks.

I’d argue that VSCode, while a bigger target, has both a large user base and Microsoft’s security team going for it. I don’t see the theme being compromised as much as problem because it got solved and also prompted some serious security review of many marketplace plugins. Not ideal, but not terrible.

Doom emacs. There is no end to customizability with emacs. Doom provides a great starting point for most things.

Android studio, clion and sometimes vs code but I’m not really happy with it.

Neovim ( not heavilly customized, mostly just lsp+trisitter and mini.nvim for a lot of other stuff ) and tmux ( which is also barelly customized + sesh for sessiond management. Also have it start automatically whem opening my terminal ).

Started using neovim right away when switching to linux back in 2018, started using tmux only last year and it’s a godsend for even just regular terminal work not just with neovim.

I also reccomend for anybody who tries to learn neovim to learn touch typing and get to atleast 60wpm, it’s a big difference.
