I've used VS Code for a long time, but have recently grown weary of Microsoft's approach to OSS. I've checked out VS Codium which seems like it might be a great option.

You mean there's something other than vim? The hell you say.

Have been using Emacs for over a decade, and I'm fairly happy with it.

I'm using GNU Emacs, which is, from my experience, great for open source software and decentralized development. Last year, I found an issue in a package/extension, I could make an experiment by modifying and running its code on the fly. I didn't even need to reload the whole package/extension. So I figured the solution out and submitted a pull request quickly.

This was already asked in !programming@lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/53721

There is a big difference between an IDE and an editor!
An editor is much more simple, while an IDE offers complete project management and other tools!

Yes and no. The answers to both questions overlap.

[–] kromonos@fapsi.be 1 points 2 years ago

Can be, but don't need.
The question in !programming@lemmy.ml assumes that the editor is used for programming. Here, however, the focus is on OpenSource and does not necessarily have anything to do with programming.
