I am still proud of [github1s]( https://github.com/conwnet/github1s ) No Credits given :( => https://github.com/conwnet/github1s/issues/346
I'd like to think that the Github team saw Github1s and decided to bake the feature right into Github.

I am a developer for almost 15 years now. My primary operating system is windows. I have used Linux but only sparingly. I have used many IDEs. I have never ever felt the need to use vim. Is it fair to say, because VSCode does not have a "vim mode", it is somehow inferior as an editor? I seriously don't get it. I have used VSCode almost from day one. It is a fantastic editor and quite a capable tool. I seriously love…
VSCode does have a vim mode. See this plugin here: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim It works surprisingly well.
I haven't run this long enough to definitely say that it's better, but this in theory should offer more correct vim behavior:

#163If folks are curious about the kind of use cases this enables, I wrote a quick article last week that highlights some of the things that are currently possible (e.g. codebase walkthroughs, web playgrounds, knowledge-base management): http://aka.ms/githubdev-fun

Why is it scary?
It's the end of being able purchase any kind of perpetual license to your software. It'll all be on the web and it will be paid per month. When that meets a company with an aggressive sunset policy or if they have an outage it won't be a good time.
If someone says "The trend towards smaller cars suggests trucks and SUVs will cease to exist.."
Not going to happen..

#165Maybe I am just dumb, but the terminal is not working for me. How do I run commands in this?
Re: Web-based editor
#166Am I alone in not jumping on the Visual Studio [Code] bandwagon? Other online editors have had "vim modes" for ages (e.g. Overleaf) and frankly I'm unlikely to write a chonking great script or project in a browser on Github -- a minor modification is much more likely. VS Code's codebase is huge . Will Github allow people to use other $EDITORs? (Yes, I'm aware this makes me sound like an old man!)
And I still use Netbeans. It really is also not worse than the electron monstrosity VS Code (memory/cpu wise).
NetBeans is the best free and open source IDE, at least for PHP.
It lacks some nice features and improvements that PHPStorm has, but it's pretty good overall. There are a couple things that NetBeans does better than PHPStorm, though.

I tried VS Code for over a year and consider it severely lacking features that most IDEs had fifteen years ago. GitHub should reconsider whether they really want to be reminding everyone that MSFT owns them.

It's pretty good, although I've found it a bit funky with copy/paste/yanking.

What is the "extinguish" part?
According to Wikipedia: "Extinguish: When extensions become a de facto standard because of their dominant market share, they marginalize competitors that do not or cannot support the new extensions." So if your text editor doesn't support integration with Github and a cloud vendor, or if your repositories don't support integration with an online text editor and a cloud vendor, or if your cloud vendor doesn't support…
The GitHub folks were already on a roll with this before Microsoft came along. How many people don't understand the difference between Git and GitHub, don't realize that saying "can you on GitHub?" makes the same presumptions as "can you on Facebook?", don't give two shits about how messy their commit messages are formatted, don't realize that Git doesn't actually have PRs, don't realize that the closest analog that it does have is intended for the convenience of a core team of frequent collaborators pulling from one another (N-to-N instead of the star topology that dominates on GitHub—and not for drive-by contributors), and wouldn't know what to do with a patch if you gave it to them, or if they do, wouldn't accept one if you tried.

For me the advantage of VSCode is in its approach and how it has differed from other products: - VSCode Remoting is really useful. It doesn’t suffer as much from latency as SSH or display forwarding, and lets you use some local configuration when remoting. Neovim will soon have a feature like this. - Language servers for code intelligence has greatly improved editor support for languages. Up until the introduction an…
> There is no equally useable OSS version, as the Microsoft distribution has become more dependent on services and blobs Check out VSCodium, similar to Chrome/Chromium, it's just VSCode minus all the related Microsoft stuff.
Yeah, but the vscode team is actively trying to break vscodium.
