Visual Studio Code, also known as VS Code, is a code editor for Linux, Windows, and macOS. It's the kind of editor that walks the line between editing text and managing your entire codebase, like an integrated development environment (IDE). It's extensible through plugins and has proven to be a reliable text editor that's easily beaten out formidable non-open rival editors.

    Just found out about VSCodium I’ll probably give that a go. At $JOB I’ve been given the full suite of JetBrains IDEs (and I use Pycharm, CLion, Webstorm) which are fantastic for refactoring, analysis, debugging, run configurations, docker etc… In my personal dev environment I’ve been building up the VSCode extensions to get similar functionality, but I just downloaded VSCodium to make the switch. Extensions and plugins really do help make it (for me)

      just in case, they’ve just switched to their own extension store, so many VS code extensions are not available atm unless you downgrade to version 1.45.x or prior or simply change the address in the config file, and get all the extensions on 1.46.x

    None of the comment are about the actual article, so let me try:

    IMHO VSCode is the undisputed best code editor on the market right now. I’ve found Atom to be cumbersome, and Geany and Brackets too lean on features that I need. As such, I’m rolling with the Code - OSS, the open source VSCode build. It has all of the most important things from VSCode, and I’m not gonna boykot an excellent program just because a greedy company rolls their own proprietary shit on top of it (yes, I use Chromium too).
