I switched from Sublime to VS Code in 2018 (?), due to some errors on Sublime 3.
It’s a bittersweet feeling. Sublime ‘invented’ that UX and Atom/VS Code took that innovation, offering a free alternative. The Show all commands bar (Ctrl-Shift-P) is just amazing, easy to use and useful.

Moral feelings away, I have good productivity with VS Code, I don’t have to install many plugins, and it’s quick to start from 0. In a pragmatic way VS Code just works.

I’m also learning vim and nvim and it has been a complex learning curve, but I think it’s going to help me as vim is installed almost everywhere. Perhaps helix is going to become an opinionated alternative for VS Code users soon, no idea.

As they say, a quick way to get a good product is “Standing on the shoulders of giants”, and sometimes using those ideas/stealing is part of that standing.
