    It should be VIM

    No one comes back from VIM.

    Those who say they have are dirty liars… or have it paused in the background.

      i always end up just going back to vscodium.
      liked Helix quite a lot more but still switched back after a while

          … because official vscode binaries are proprietary, released under EULA and include tracking components

          official vscode(oss) binaries still have tracking, they’re not properly configured and come without any marketplace. (arch ships a config file with openvsix though)

          vscodium comes without tracking and pre-configured with openvsix marketplace, and also provides it’s own branding.

              yes, but vscode’s source code is still released under an open-source license. (that’s what vscodium and code-oss are built from)

              There’s the base vs code source code, which microsoft takes, adds a bunch of tracking, compiles it, and distributes that binary. If you compiled vs code yourself from source, you would not get the same executable.

              A bit like chrome, because i’m pretty sure chrome isn’t open source, chromium is. Could be wrong on that.

      Pfff. Try joe editor, then. It’s a Wordstar clone. For those of us that loved Wordstar, it’s as much as a home to us as vi/vim is.

      5x ESC (for good measure), then type :q!

      Good god do I love VIM. For work I wish my regular windows notepad was vim…
