Comment on Microsoft doesn't understand the Fediverse
abir_v@lemmy.world 4 days agoI don’t intend to have the tone of some of these other guys; if you like it that’s fine, really.
But man, every time I’ve used VSCode, I cannot help but hate it. It’s a mess of a user experience, with anything off the beaten path being community supported via plugins that have different opinions on how they should work.
I’m a nvim user these days, I’m all about extensible tools, but I can redefine how they work if it’s not a default I like, so it’s always cohesive to me.
Between the full-fat IDEs, I prefer JetBrains by far, but these days I pretty much just use the terminal - it’s just faster and it’s easy to get it to meet me where I’m at.

I am sure the terminal IDEs are great. I did used to play around with vim myself, and still use it for editing config files. I have had some success with Jet Brains as well. It’s a solid product.
I don’t really have the energy it takes to configure and learn all the stuff that’s needed for a terminal only setup these days. I guess I am just not as discerning as you are. I might try a ready made solution like LazyVim.

Lazy works. I started my config from this repo. It got me up and running well enough with a pretty basic viable config almost immediately with a well documented parts for me to tweak at my leisure as I hit pain points.
But, if you do try it and don’t like it, or prefer a G-IDE - at least you tried it. Good luck to you, captain.
