Up to around seven years ago I was using visual studio, simply because I was taught to write with an IDE and had never really questioned the logic of having to wait half an hour for the damn thing to boot.
Until one day I finally thought about it for five minutes and realized it was kind of stupid. And so I began working entirely from the terminal, just plain nano, make and gdb. I'm now an obnoxious arch user injecting software communism into his bloodstream on a daily basis. Totally not a cult thing. Hail GNU. -

vim have lsp support now. They took the best part of vscode and put it in vim. I like to shit on microsoft and UI as much as the last guy but LSPs were actually a good idea.
I've only been using it for one day, but the most striking thing about going from VSCode to Neovim is the performance incrase.
VSCode has some noticeable input lag, but Neovim, even running in wsl2 (AN ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM VIRTUALIZED) has none.
That's sort of insane. An ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM is less heavy than a single instance of a bloated Electron app.
The absolute state of desktop development in 2024. Yes, VSCode is a fuckin amazing editor. But I can't help but think it's built like resources and performance were never truly a concern beyond "good enough".
