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

    Both are text editors, but VSCode’s plugin system and various config options can turn it a fully fledged IDE for the languages of your choice.

    Besides, Sublime is exactly that: good, old.

        Still checks out I’d say, each plugin does one thing well.
        Besides, I think we’re past that dogmatic way of thinking, it often doesn’t work as well for user facing applications where we want things to just work and that is easier to get right when an app is all-in-one

          It’s easier for me when each function is represented by a different icon in my alt-tab app switching. If I want to edit code I switch to my editor. If I want to run commands I switch to my terminal.

          Having multiple functions within each app means I need to learn and memorize the navigation between functions within the app. It might be ctrl- or shift-alt-x or whatever.

          When each app does one thing, navigating between them is standardized.

        “Do one thing well” doesn’t mean the sum of the parts only does one thing. The larger system can be complex, it’s the individual parts that need to be simple, specialized and interchangeable.
