Are the other $EDITORS able to run inside a web browser?
Phoenix ( https://github.com/aicore/phoenix ) is working on brackets in the browser.
Am 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!)
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 is usable just not very good, yet.
I've been using this for a while. Very, very, very handy for - Just exploring some code. - Quickly pull up as reference code w/ decent navigation without having to checkout locally or navigate forward/back in the source tree in GitHub. - When reviewing PRs and wanting to check out some surrounding code that is not part of the actual PR. - If you want to quickly commit something really small and trivial in master/a br…
I was showing my friends just yesterday how amazed I was for Command + P working as an app shortcut on github.dev. Did you try this recently?
Maybe I am just dumb, but the terminal is not working for me. How do I run commands in this?

I have never used vim in my life (20 years in dev. including on linux and used linux since the late 90s). Many people talk about vim lately, probably the most I've seen and I'm still not sure why. That said, VSCode is very good. But I don't believe in a web-based IDE and in remote Github repos. That's a recipe for disaster and unescapable vendor lock-in, and in any case it's only an option for web dev., really. Edit:…
> Many people talk about vim lately, probably the most I've seen and I'm still not sure why. Extrapolating from personal experience, I think this might be down to Covid WFH where more people have had to ssh into remote machines and may need to edit files so might choose to use vim as it’s easily available. And vim is something that I find is better learned progressively where you pick up 1 or 2 tricks every week or s…
I have also been WFH because of Covid but haven't had to change much or anything to my way of working and I do SSH to multiple machines every day. That might vary a lot from person to person, though. I have avoided doing actual dev. on a remote machine by setting up a VM to run Linux locally as any sort of remote desktop tends to be a pain.
Also, with distributed source control (git and friends) there is usually no need to access remote source files.
I just get "The Web Worker Extension Host did not start in 60s, that might be a problem." And the project never loads. Edit1: That said I also started development on my own web IDE: http://edit.rupy.se Edit2: This other URL works: https://github1s.com/tinspin/rupy

VSCode does have a vim mode. See this plugin here: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim It works surprisingly well.
It's pretty good, although I've found it a bit funky with copy/paste/yanking.
As someone who uses git from the command line, I am finding the web-based editor extremely unintuitive and difficult to use for common git operations.
It seems we are moving to a world of magic, where developers will be alchemists, and only a handful of people will understand "physics" or "chemistry" and know what is actually going on in the cloud, serverless, fileless, functionless development. Since google translate and google maps, I always ask myself, what is the real price for this very convenient and engaging product.

It works insanely well.
