Comment on What editor or IDE do you use and why?

VScode locally, vim if I’m shelled into something
Used to use sublimetext, but roughly a decade ago VSCode ended up getting a lot of inertia, and that resulted in better plugins (at the time anyway)
I’ve used the jetbrains stuff and I do not get the hype whatsoever, it’s bloaty and cumbersome.
One of the main reasons I switched from vim as my main was ping-pong pair programming. I’m not gonna be the arsehole that tries to force a junior dev to figure out vim instead of actually working on the ticket. Still 100% my go-to in text mode though, it’s basically perfect.

I’m afraid to say that I too have been corrupted by VSCode.
It’s widely used, easy to get into, has LOTS of extensions, and works mostly the same across OS’es meaning it’s easy to setup by and explain to others.
The two extensions I’m missing most in other IDE/text editors would be the “Remote - SSH” extension by Microsoft, which gives unparalleled integration when working remote, and PlatformIO which, while it can be used independently in its core form, just works way better in VSCode.
Besides this, I’ll use Nano for small tasks and vi on embedded devices where Nano is unavailable, though, I’ll need a vi cheatsheet for anything more advanced than basic editing.
