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/
You must log in or register to comment.
I use JetBrains IDEs. IntelliJ, Pycharm, Goland, and Webstorm.
Helix because it’s simple and works without tweaking it.
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.
Emacs with evil-mode or when I am banging around the console, neovim.
Zed
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.
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 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.
Kate just because I have to learn coding and it was installed and idgaf
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.
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.
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’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.
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.
For an actual IDE, Jetbrains. But I rarely need an actual IDE and will just generally use Vim for everything.
Neovim (heavily customized configuration) + tmux for me. Switched from Jetbrains IDE and VSCode to this ~5 years ago. I use neovim with every language.
Fast to use, one app for all and I have customized that to my liking and I already spent half of my time in terminal while working anyway. + knowing how to use vim helps a lot when configuring servers remotely.
