Neovim. It's painful at the beginning, but I'm getting more confident and productive. IMO, it's worth it if you're into CLI.

I also considered JetBrains products and Zed.

Speed and battery consumption are important to me, and JetBrains is too monstrous to satisfy these criteria. Besides, JetBrains doesn't really offer a basic code editor that you can extend with plugins. IntelliJ IDEA is meant to be like that, but it's a huge Java IDE whether you need it or not.

Zed looked good, but I decided not to invest my time into another code editor with paid features - they tend to enshittify over time.

Afaik, they only remove telemetry and branding. Although they are lagging behind a little, so this change didn't reach vscodium: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/2823

On the flip side, it pushed me to move away from vscode. Whoever did this, thanks.

On a totally unrelated note, where would one go if they didn't want to pay for Sky Sports? Asking for a friend.

What did the author want to say? This article is so poorly written, I gave up reading it.

I think there is no short and easy answer to that. To understand your arguments and follow your logical chains, one needs to be knowledgeable enough in politics and history.
