Comment on Ask HN: Why do you like Visual Studio Code?

Comments

Installed yesterday for the first time (VSCodium "variant") on linux via snap.

I was using Atom (will be retired in Dec this year) but Zen is not ready nor testable. All I do is bash, basic python, basic ruby and some markdown/asciidoc so no need for special extensions and VSCodium seems to fit with reasonable defaults.

I am also fan of Geany which is very lightweight and has some plugins but the UI feels a bit outdated and some extensions are orphaned.

My dream of an editor: FOSS, lightweight, modern GUI, multi-language and with a nice API for extensions (I will seriously try vim/neovim some day)
