VSCode! I can use it for pretty much any project I’m working on, and I’ve customized it enough that it feels wrong to use anything else 😆

If you’d prefer to use it without Microsoft’s trackers, check out VSCodium.

True! I tried it out for a few months, but the luck of extensions made me go back to the regular install. I use copilot regularly now anyway and I’m not sure if that’d work on codium
