       I’m particularly curious about the state of free editors one is likely to stumble upon when getting started with GNOME (gedit), KDE (kdevelop?), and other “mainstream” desktop environments.

       @tusharhero I should say I’m interested in editors other than Emacs here, since it’s already best-in-class. :-)

       Thread inspired by the neat talk @tsyesika gave at FOSDEM:https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/EKEFUU-guileoutsideofemacs/(I’d have included VSCode in this section but realized it has non-free parts that appear to be difficult to tear apart?)

       @civodul @tusharhero is there even an editor capable of handling Guile at all, nevermind do it as poorly as Emacs does in the Guix context? I guess that's what you're trying to find out.I have done Lisp in Neovim,  but I haven't tried it with Guile specifically. The best repl plugin supports it apparently: https://github.com/Olical/conjure

       @trevdev If there are tips and tricks you’d add to the Vim/NeoVim section, please share:https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Vim-and-NeoVim.html@tusharhero

       @tusharhero @tsyesika Well, yes, but I find it hard to understand what VSCodium does.  They present the project as providing “freely-licensed binaries” (?).Assuming this is what they use to build those binaries, they make mechanical changes on the source:https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/prepare_vscode.sh… and supposedly the output only contains the free parts?

       @civodul @tsyesika VSCode is hugely popular, Stack Overflow had it at 70% developers use it (2024 survey). It's hard to even internalise that level of popularity!It's not really an editor, in much the same way that Emacs isn't. And some of the tech like LSP is now hugely influential.
