I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

    It’s hard to separate yourself from it when the company you work for uses it heavily and leans on some of the extensions for things like containers.

    I used to be a hardcore Sublime Text user until it started formatting all of my code like garbage. I had plugins conflicting with each other and couldn’t find alternatives that did what I needed without clashes happening. Plus, barely anything is alive over on the Sublime side.

    It’s hard to say no to an editor with that big of a community. You can find 100 plugins for your one need, vs 2 on the Sublime side (and you end up finding that those 2 plugins haven’t been updated in years).

    You can always fallback to VSCodium.

      The ability to open gigabytes of log files though, vscode will kill your machine while sublime text can do it without sweating. Also, vscode sometimes used a lot of memory after running for a while, compared to sublime text’s minimal memory usage. Still, the killer feature of vscode is the remote development IMO, super useful when using a laptop and working outside. Microsoft seems to refuse opensourcing that part so can’t use it on vscodium.
