#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
For me, a major reason is the pervasive spyware baked into VSCode. A lot of the code I write are things I would prefer Microsoft and the US military-industrial complex (of which MS is a big part) not have any data about.

Vscode is designed to fracture and vscodium doesn’t escape this. https://ghuntley.com/fracture/

#53Nice swipe at C# (and Java). It's not true anymore for .Net Core though (that you need the bloated editor). All of the tooling is command line now
The only time I had to work with C# it was a non .Net Core project, and I had to run the editor in a virtual windows machine running on a Macbook. It was a vaguely traumatic experience.

The point of using something like VSCode is access to all of the features enabled by proprietary extensions. VSCodium has none of these and goes back to being worse than vim.
Microsoft is just engaging in open source cosplay when they publish the source code. They’re not interested in software freedoms as a concept (in fact, they are interested in explicitly denying them to users) and they certainly aren’t interested in enabling software freedoms via their releases (source code or otherwise).

#56I think vim users highly overestimate their productivity and just like the way using hotkeys feels.
Hotkeys with VS code can me made mostly the same right especially with Vim mode? I like the flexibility most. Little time when switching between projects or languages because it’s always Zellij, one or more nvims and a shell and ripgrep. It just feels the most comfortable at this point and it’s nice that it’s small and flexible instead of one big IDE. But yes probably people in other IDE‘s can be just as fast.

I just hate touching my mouse if I can avoid it. NeoVim + vimium in the browser weee.
Re: The Loneliness of the Mid-Level Vimmer
#58Almost every so-called bloated editor has a vim plugin (I guess that's an upside of their bloat): vscode, intellij and friends, even vimium for the browser. And although I wouldn't argue that vim (or, to be precise a subset of vim functionality in editor plugins) makes me more productive I would argue that vimium does.

#59Ha, I'm like this but moreso because I don't strongly professionally program. (I teach IT in a presently not super-technical program, and get a pretty good bit of freedom and variance in what I do.) I feel the same way about vim that I do learning cursive; I honestly wish I could erase it from my brain because -- and it took a long time for me to figure this out -- it, for me, brings NO advantages. Now, what would be…
Why do you want to erase cursive from your brain? Or am I misunderstanding the analogy?
Lol, I do. I didn't much explain it, but it didn't really do anything besides make my writing harder to read :)

#60I use Vim, not neoVim. Combined with Tmux it's great. Any strong arguments in favor of neoVim?
