2 months agoI’m afraid to say that I too have been corrupted by VSCode.
It’s widely used, easy to get into, has LOTS of extensions, and works mostly the same across OS’es meaning it’s easy to setup by and explain to others.
The two extensions I’m missing most in other IDE/text editors would be the “Remote - SSH” extension by Microsoft, which gives unparalleled integration when working remote, and PlatformIO which, while it can be used independently in its core form, just works way better in VSCode.
Besides this, I’ll use Nano for small tasks and vi on embedded devices where Nano is unavailable, though, I’ll need a vi cheatsheet for anything more advanced than basic editing.
Then you make a “no politics” rule, after which the very respectable debaters show up to tell everyone that everything ultimately is political, and therefore their ragebaiting, trolling, cancel culture, and general toxicity is totally acceptable! Unless you want an entry in the powerhungrybastards community, ofc.
Anyway, I’ve generally had a positive experience on the fediverse (compared to Reddit, etc.). That said, I’ve blocked and avoid most, if not all, right wing extremists, though I’m having a harder time with the left extremists since we seem to have a lot of interests in common. ,’
