vscodium slightly better than vscode tho.
honestly all ide's are rubbish - especially electron ones. for a gui editor, i've just gone back to sublime text and have never been happier.

Tbf codium is a very well optimized electron app. Don't believe me? Try discord

Notepad++ is good but a bit bloated. Would not call it rubbish. Node is solid.
Is there a stable way to use closed extensions (like the MS Python one) with vscodium by now? I'd love to get away from MS' grasp, but it's much harder if I'll be missing out on language integrations.

& then there's emacs
(& this-post (there-is emacs))
Though I use neovim as a text editor, Zed is my IDE of choice. I think itโs a good alternative for most people that donโt like Electron-based applications.
As a long, long, long time vi/vim/neovim user, zed is just a breath of fresh air. Itโs feature first like neovim, but doesnโt suffer from them being half baked somehow
Zed is good but still in its infancy, but it has new content and sees many improvements quickly, needs more extension developers and I had to make my own extension for a language that was not well handled by zed
After years of using Linux, the last time I used Vim, I remembered for the first time how to go into command mode, exit, and save the file I was editing without looking anything up.
