       I hate to say this, but I think I might be considering toying around with #VisualStudioCode, even though I've used #vim for over a decade.One of the reasons why is that I need my editor to just be intuitive and not require a learning curve for basic necessities like tips for info/types of the functions I'm using, or if I want to install more packages to modify its behavior, etc. I've ben having a hard time memorizing some of the #vim commands associated with coc/HLS.Hoping for your comments.

       @hyperrealgopher I have used VSCode for years, everything from full stack web development, to Rust coding, and right now I've even got a setup in a few specific workspaces where I use it to convert company documents to Markdown, edit and update them, and then upload them to a Gitlab.Protip 1: EXTENSIONS. Everything from vim bindings, to syntax highlights, to code linters and debuggers.Protip 2: WORKSPACES.You can set extensions to only run in certain environments. It's incredibly versatile.

       @hyperrealgopher I am fairly novice at writing code, but I experienced some linker issues with GCC for C++ so that is one thing to look out for.

       @hyperrealgopher as a former emacs zealot, vscode is real goodthe core program is nice and reliable, the popular extensions are robust and well supported, sometimes it supports debugging/autocomplete in situations i never expected it to figure outafter two years the only issue for me is that it loves popping up all kinds of bullshit notifications for every little issue under the sun

       @hyperrealgopher the extension for vim bindings is actually quite good

       @hyperrealgopher I'd say use whatever you want, but if you're not completely giving up on vim I'd recommend trying out neovim. Its built-in popup window and LSP support is much simpler and easier to grasp than coc. This repo helps you get it set up. Here's my configuration for it.If you are done with vim I'd recommend Code OSS out of all the non-“traditional” editors but not VS Code because it's proprietary and has microsoft telemetry.

       @hyperrealgopher VSCode is pretty good, go for it if you think it will improve your workflow

       @hyperrealgopher If you must use Microsoft Visual Studio Code (which is a decent enough editor), please use the VSCodium version (https://vscodium.com/) which is actually built from the Open Source MIT-licensed source code, and not the "free download" from Microsoft, which is a non-free binary built from the Open Source code plus a few telemetry tracking things that Microsoft feel would enhance your life, but aren't prepared to disclose to you.

       @hyperrealgopher Try a lot of editors and use whatever sticks.  You may find that you prefer different editors for different tasks!

       @hyperrealgopher I second the use of VSCodium, in practise you won't notice a difference. Also, as a former vim user I did the same thing and switched because I didn't want to keep wresting with vim plugins, setups, configs and all that whenever something in my workflow changed or I wanted to try out a new language. VSCode is just hassle-free (mostly) and easy to set up.The vim extension for VSCode is pretty good IMHO and support for all the languages are need works fine. Rust-analyzer rules!

       @hyperrealgopher I used to be an Emacs guy many moons ago, but VSCode is a great editor. I never went back.
