Beyond VSCodium (which I have switched to since this news), what are everyone’s favorite alternatives that are easy to switch to?
I say easy to switch to because no one is jumping to Vim or whatever on this news. I don’t mean to offend the deeply Linuxed, but they aren’t.
The last time I tried vscodium the devcontainers support was very poor. That is the main thing keeping me on vscode.
