It should be VIM

No one comes back from VIM.

Those who say they have are dirty liars... or have it paused in the background.

...or eventually convert to the cult of Emacs.

When I use Emacs, it's with Evil.

I use emacs as my lemmy client

Layers upon layers of vimception!

Pfff. Try joe editor, then. It's a Wordstar clone. For those of us that loved Wordstar, it's as much as a home to us as vi/vim is.

... because official vscode binaries are proprietary and include tracking components

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@vox really!! I thought that vscode open source

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There's the base vs code source code, which microsoft takes, adds a bunch of tracking, compiles it, and distributes that binary. If you compiled vs code yourself from source, you would not get the same executable.

A bit like chrome, because i'm pretty sure chrome isn't open source, chromium is. Could be wrong on that.

yes, but vscode's source code is still released under an open-source license. (that's what vscodium and code-oss are built from)
