VS Code¶
I have floated back and forth between VS Code and Neovim for a while now and it's just depended on the work...
The main selling points of VS Code to me historically have been:
- one-stop shop with git integration, terminal emulation, keymaps (albeit a pain in the ass to get right), and a healthy extension marketplace
- relatively quick set-up (although ironically LazyVim gives you 90% of what you need instantly, VS Code takes some point and click at the beginning)
- easy devcontainer support
- GH Copilot support for work related activities
- a primary selling point is how well helm tends to work
- another primary point is the
project managerplugin for combining repos together in a workspace
Well... I got sick of that and with the addition of worktrees in my workspaces workflow I think I can mostly get back to the terminal for most of my work
With all that said, VS Code isn't a bad tool and I have some configuration (perhaps outdated) in my vscode module
